8734 Portland Ave is a carefully updated, fully rehabbed 3-bedroom, 1-bath home that's truly move-in ready. Set on a spacious .31-acre lot with a fenced backyard, this property offers privacy and convenience just minutes from public transportation, parks, Valley View Pool, and the Hennepin County Library.
Major updates are already done: newer furnace, mini split air for upstairs, appliances, windows, and fresh exterior and interior paint. Inside, enjoy beautifully refinished hardwood floors alongside new flooring in the bathroom, kitchen, lower-level family room, and upper-level bedroom. The newly finished upper-level bedroom suite and cozy lower-level family room are ready to enjoy from day one.
There's even room to grow — an additional unfinished area in the lower level offers great potential to add a second bathroom, letting you build equity on your own timeline.
With a 1-car garage and thoughtful, careful updates throughout, this home is ready for its next owner.
