Move-in ready Montavilla magic! Both the heavy lifting and the cosmetic touches are complete. Systems are dialed: brand new roof, new furnace, radon mitigation, newer sewer line and decommissioned oil tank. And for the vibes: beautiful original wood trim, coved ceilings, fresh paint in and out. There’s also updated windows and AC. Kick back on the newer deck with gas hookup for summer celebrations overlooking the large, fenced yard. This sweet 1940 cutie is set up above the street, and welcomes you into a light and bright living room with wood floors and a fireplace. Two bedrooms and an updated bathroom are set apart from the kitchen with farm sink and newer fridge and dishwasher. The windowed dining area has sliders to the deck and backyard. Upstairs is a large and lovely primary bedroom with good ceiling height. It has a cozy bench seat, two skylights, and rich fir floors. The unfinished basement has laundry, storage, and room for a workout and/or craft area. The detached garage offers options: parking, storage, shop, hangout space. And all of this located on a quiet street just 2 blocks from the local magic of Montavilla - the Academy Theater, Threshold Brewing, Bipartisan Cafe, The Observatory, and Portland Monthly Restaurant of the Year, Yaowarat. There’s also the famous weekly farmers market, and it’s close to Mt. Tabor. 87 walk score, 99 bike score! The hard work here is done and the feel is real - just move in and enjoy!
