There's a version of Portland that still moves at walking pace, and this corner lot sits right in the middle of it. Coffee shops are close enough to be a habit rather than an outing. New Seasons is an easy walk, and the weekend farmers market is just around the corner. Unpaved alleys with real rural charm run past the house and lead, eventually, all the way to the Woodstock library. A secret entrance into the Reed Canyon wilderness trail sits just around the corner too, so the walk to your morning coffee and the walk into actual forest start from the same front door.This 4 bedroom 2 bathroom home with a 9 home energy score, has vintage bones and is oozing with charm. Original light fixtures and an adorable breakfast nook with built-in bench seating create a lovely sun-soaked spot to sit with that coffee before heading out to explore the neighborhood on foot. Fresh paint, gleaming original hardwoods, central air, an updated bathroom and a wood burning fireplace round out the main level. The basement has its own history. It once housed Reed students and parents (previously a fully permitted Airbnb) and has an easy walkout entrance from the backyard that still feels private and enclosed today. The side alley access provides three-car parking spaces. Located in the beloved Duniway school district with R2.5 zoning on a corner lot, there’s truly so much potential here. This is a neighborhood built for wandering on foot: Berkley Park, Woodstock park, the Heist food carts, Cloud City Ice Cream (voted best in the city), Grand Central Bakery, Ace Hardware, Lewis Elementary playground, Duniway Elementary playground, the library, the market, into the canyon, we could go on and on. Come see it in person, the walk from the front door is the best part. Open house Saturday 1-3 and Sunday 11-1. [Home Energy Score = 9. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10103085]
