This is the Portland bungalow you've been picturing. Lovingly restored and brimming with character, 4511 SE Clay sits in the heart of the Richmond and Sunnyside neighborhoods — two of Southeast Portland's most beloved — with a Walk Score of 95 and a Bike Score of 100. The front porch alone is worth the visit: private, inviting, and the kind of place that makes you feel like the city is yours. Inside, gorgeous hardwoods, natural woodwork, and historic built-ins flow throughout. The modern kitchen is outfitted with soapstone counters, gas cooking, and thoughtful design, making time spent there a pleasure to show off to your friends. The bedrooms are spa-like retreats — vaulted ceilings, skylights, and abundant natural light create a serene, airy quality that's rare in a home this characterful with a warm glowing pellet stove. Beautiful rain garden graces the front yard, while the private backyard offers a quiet and private escape. The unfinished basement is a blank canvas — storage, hobbies, or something bigger. Restaurants, pubs, shopping, and culture are right around the corner! Famous Mt. Tabor Park is less than a mile away, where you can picnic, hike, walk, and enjoy a laundry list of events like summer concerts and the Soap Box Derby. Pure Portland chic.
