Step inside, and you'll quickly realize this home lives much larger than its footprint suggests. Thoughtfully updated and move-in ready, this charming cottage offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a light-filled open living space, and a finished attic that gives you the flexibility for a home office, creative studio, guest space, or whatever fits your next chapter. Recent ductless mini-split heating and cooling keeps the home comfortable year-round while adding modern efficiency. Outside, the oversized backyard invites you to slow down and stay awhile, with a covered patio for morning coffee, raised garden beds ready for your next harvest, and a storage shed for all the extras. Whether you're buying your first home, simplifying your lifestyle, or looking for a property with character and room to grow, this home offers something that's becoming harder to find: a place that feels like home the moment you arrive. Located in one of Southeast Portland's evolving neighborhoods, you'll enjoy easy access to parks, local restaurants, shopping, and downtown while still having a yard that's ready for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet evening outdoors. Sometimes the right home isn't the biggest one. It's the one that makes you start imagining your life there. This just might be that home. [Home Energy Score = 3.
