In the heart of Columbia City — a classic 1919 Craftsman bungalow with major professional remodeling throughout and yet all the original charm intact. Vintage touches in all the right places but updates where you want them (radiant heating system with solar hot water, double-pane windows, completely updated plumbing and electrical, level 2 EV charger for behind-the-house parking, new kitchen appliances including induction cooking), beautifully designed lower level primary suite and spacious, flexible rooms. Fantastic west-facing covered front porch brings outdoor living to your doorstep, rain or shine. Behind the house is your green-thumb sanctuary – patio, perennial kitchen garden, raised beds, and flowers in all seasons, complete with enclosed 300-gallon rainwater collection system. Just one block from all the restaurants, shopping, movies, and music of Columbia City, and only 6 blocks from the Columbia City light rail station, while being on a welcoming residential street with flourishing young street trees. Coincidentally, this is the current home of the beloved Little Free Bakery Columbia City! Pre-inspected and sewer-scoped
