    Original built-insRefinished hardwood floorsBreakfast nookMarble tile
    Charming 1922 Colonial Heights bungalow, perched high on the lot just half a block from Hawthorne! Original charm meets thoughtful updates throughout. Refinished hardwood floors flow through the main living spaces, filled with natural light, and paired with original built-ins that nod to the home's 1920s roots. The kitchen shines with updated appliances, marble tile, and a sweet bonus breakfast nook. Two bedrooms and a bathroom up offer bright, comfortable living, while a third bedroom and full bathroom down add flexibility. The finished lower level includes a kitchenette, ideal for a guest suite, home office, or Airbnb. Out back, a nicely sized yard is enclosed by a classic white picket fence, perfect for gatherings or slow mornings. A single-car garage plus a long driveway means parking is never a worry, with room to spare for extra vehicles or guests. Half a block from the shops, cafes, and restaurants of SE Hawthorne, one of PDX's most walkable, sought-after neighborhoods. 91 Walkscore & 95 Bikescore. [Home Energy Score = 5.
