The sunny and bright kitchen features new appliances and plenty of east and south light, and easy access to the back yard. Three well-proportioned bedrooms offer flexibility — a primary retreat, a home office, a guest room, or all three — while a full bath plus a convenient half bath keep morning routines running smoothly. And the full basement offers a ton of potential with several rooms - perfect flex space for a family room, craft area or shop, and don't miss the basement sauna!Original architectural details include built-ins, wood-burning fireplace, original hardware with glass door knobs, picture moulding, and original oak and fir floors throughout the home. Step through the back door and into your own private garden oasis. The oversized lot opens up to a lush, tranquil backyard that feels worlds away from the everyday. Mature plantings, layered greenery, patio, wood deck, fire pit and quiet garden nooks create an atmosphere that's equal parts sanctuary and outdoor living room — perfect for morning coffee, weekend gatherings, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. Portland public library a block down the street in one direction, and Essex park a block away in the other direction.Super convenient location with a walk score of 79 and a bike score of 81.
