Vintage luster abounds in the incredibly preserved 1926 Craftsman Bungalow perched high above the street level in the heart of Historic Brooklyn Neighborhood! This opportunity to own an original vintage home with unspoiled rich wood finishes & built-ins, 1920's Art Deco light fixtures, period kitchen cabinetry, and wood floors throughout at this offering price is quite rare! Use a conventional "Renovation Mortgage" for your purchase and add a 2nd Bathroom, or complete other renovations after closing and add the costs directly into your mortgage balance! The huge covered porch is to die for, and will keep you cozy outside all year round. The lush and private backyard features fruit trees and and incredible detached sauna to melt away your stress. The full-size basement that features high ceilings, direct connection to the tuck-under garage, a separate outside entry, shop area, and more is just crying to be finished into value-adding additional living space, or even an amazing ADU! This ultra-convenient location is in one of Portland's oldest neighborhoods filled with beautiful old homes throughout, and a vibrant and active community of neighbors! Ditch the car because from this amazing home you'll have coffee houses, eateries, shops, and even the brand new Brooklyn Carreta Bar & Food Carts just blocks away from your front door! Being only 8 minutes to downtown, and right next door to Sellwood, Clinton, Divison and Hawthorne Districts brings the best of Portland to within minutes of your home. Come see her and fall in love with the gorgeous "Belle of Brooklyn"! [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10051084]
