Mid-century charm, modern updates, and a park-side setting come together in this uniquely cool South Tabor home. Located on a quiet dead-end street and backing directly to Clinton City Park, the 0.18-acre lot offers rare privacy and green space in the heart of SE Portland. Inside, original hardwoods run throughout the main level, grounding the home's character while thoughtful updates elevate everyday living. The renovated kitchen (2022) features quartz counters, custom cabinetry, a 34” farmhouse sink, touchless faucet, stainless 750 CFM range hood, and hybrid LVP flooring that extends into the dining area. A large formal dining room connects effortlessly to the backyard through a sliding door, creating great indoor-outdoor flow. The layout offers flexibility with a garage conversion that adds a creative bonus space-ideal for a studio, home office, or lounge-complete with radiant floor heat, French doors, updated electrical, and access to a private courtyard. Downstairs, the finished basement includes a legal bedroom, family room with cozy fireplace, full bath, egress windows, and new LVP flooring (2023), making it great for guests, hobbies, or quiet retreat. Major system upgrades include a new roof (2016), new gutters (2023), dual on-demand water heaters, 95% efficient variable-speed furnace, 200-amp electrical panel, and updated sewer and gas lines. Outside, unwind in the 7-person Rhythm hot tub (2021) or enjoy the fully fenced yard, mature landscaping, and Tuff Shed for extra storage. With fresh interior and exterior paint, updated windows and doors, custom-fitted screens, and extensive renovations completed since 2008, this home is full of personality, function, and style in one of SE Portland's sweetest tucked-away locations. A rare blend of space, flow, and setting-don't miss your chance to experience it. [Home Energy Score = 3. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10239419]
