Property Description

Built in 1951 and thoughtfully updated, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow proves that good bones and good taste age well together.Step inside to a living room anchored by a genuine wood-burning fireplace - the kind that makes rainy Portland evenings feel intentional rather than gloomy. The dining room stands on its own, and the updated kitchen brings stainless appliances, a gas range and garbage disposal for modern conviniences. Down the hall, a full bath and bedroom round out the main level - and that bedroom comes with a built-in Murphy bed, because flexible square footage is real luxury!Head downstairs and the house keeps giving: a fully finished basement with two more bedrooms, a full bathroom, a second living room for movie nights or teenage independence. Heated floors keep toes cozy all winter; walk on them once and you'll understand why basements have an image problem everywhere except here.Outside, the fully fenced backyard is its own destination: open and covered patio space, raised garden beds with irrigation already plumbed in, a large storage shed for all your projects-in-waiting, and a genuine backyard orchard - pear, plum, cherry, and fig trees alongside raspberry and blueberry bushes. This is a yard for people who actually want to grow something, not just mow it.Location-wise, this one's built for movement. SE Holgate puts you steps from TriMet bus lines and minutes from I-205, which means downtown, the airport, and the rest of the metro area are all remarkably close - no backroad maze required. For commuters, weekend explorers, or anyone tired of budgeting an extra 20 minutes for traffic, this is about as connected as Lents gets.Additional peace-of-mind updates include a radon mitigation system, an updated electrical panel, new front yard fencing, and window blinds throughout - the unglamorous stuff that matters enormously when it's already done for you.
