A sump pump & radon mitigation system are already in place, because the unglamorous stuff matters.

This is the kind of location Portlanders dream of. Coffee, dinner, groceries, parks, neighborhood shops & all the good stuff along Hawthorne & Division are just minutes away. With a Walk Score of 93 and Bike Score of 100, the location is hard to beat. A home with great bones, generous spaces, perfect location—plus plenty of opportunity to add your own style and make it yours.This is Portland living at its finest. [Home Energy Score = 6.
