Perched up high off the street, this recently remodeled home is only two blocks from Kenilworth Park, a short walk from Trader Joes, and right on the border of the Reed and Creston Kenilworth neighborhoods. The living and dining space has a modern open floor plan with great natural light, updated double-glazed windows, and attractive laminate flooring. The gourmet kitchen boasts granite countertops and a breakfast nook. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main floor, with a small sunroom/mudroom giving access to the backyard. Upstairs, the spacious master suite has a bathroom with a deep soaking tub and separate shower, as well as a fourth bedroom and a separate storage room. A clean, full-size unfinished basement is great for extensive storage with laundry facilities also located there. Current owner has undertaken significant work to maintain the longevity of the home: sewer line replacement, oil tank decommissioning, 2 dangerous large trees removed, roof cleaning, and the house has updated PEX plumbing throughout. The huge 0.19 acre lot provides easy off-street parking and has tons of potential for an ADU or lot split. The previous owner obtained city approval of a preliminary plan for a two-parcel partition in 2018 (see portlandmaps for details, buyer to do due diligence). Convenient and walkable location, only 5 minutes walk to Trader Joes and Walgreens, bars/cafes/restaurants are very close on Gladstone St, beautiful walks through the Reed College campus and lake are just minutes away, easy access to 2 main Trimet bus routes.
