Dreaming of an urban garden paradise? Fall in love with this rare half acre lot tucked away on a quiet residential street. Come walk the property and imagine the possibilities - for an urban farm, a woodland habitat garden, or even for development (R7 zoning makes it possible to subdivide the lot with up to 3 properties - buyers to do due diligence). The sweet 50s bungalow offers one-level living and essential updates like brand new mini-splits to keep you comfortable year-round, a new water heater, 200 amp panel, high end crawlspace dehumidifier and sump pump, fresh interior paint, and more. Plus tons of original charm: refinished oak hardwood floors, arched doorways, an enclosed front entry, and a sunroom off the kitchen with access to the backyard. The hard working kitchen has a built-in pantry and room for a dining table or island if you need even more prep space. Both bedrooms have large closets and new windows, and each has its own mini-split for ultimate comfort. Two large windows and Southern exposure in the living room means sunlight all day long! In the spring enjoy the blossoms and heavenly scent of the stately Linden tree in front, not to mention the shade it provides on hot summer days. The fenced back yard is massive - you have to see it to believe it - with a stand of peaceful evergreens and room for your grand plans. Don't miss the garage and covered carport - all the parking and storage space you'll ever need! Just minutes from groceries, restaurants, entertainment, and parks on Division, Stark and Glisan. Welcome home! [Home Energy Score = 7. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10225233]
