This is a classic Portland home in close-in SW Portland with energy-efficient upgrades that resulted in a Home Energy Score of a 9 (10 is the best). This home is just a few minutes' drive away from two major grocery stores, Tryon Creek State Park, restaurants, and Lewis & Clark College. Capitol Hill Elementary School is just a couple of blocks away The house has great access to Barbur Boulevard and the I-5 without the noise, and the shops and restaurants of Multnomah Village. The south end of downtown via Barbur Blvd is just an 8-minute drive away. There are a fully-permitted third bedroom, a second bathroom, and family room in the basement. This charming bungalow is the only one like it you will see near or under $600,000 this year in this area. Don't miss it! The attached garage, which has a new roof, and the large garden are big positives. The long list of updates done to the home include: entire living space is insulated and sealed to current standards, insulation added in the walls and ceilings, double-glazed windows throughout the home including the picture windows, updated electrical system including the removal of all knob and tube wiring, a new heat pump for heating and AC, newly painted inside and out, garage improved with an electric car charger, drywalled ceiling and walls, and a new garage door with smart opener. The basement is very clean including the laundry room that offers easy access to the relatively new hot water heater, new HVAC system, and plenty of storage space. In addition to that long list, the stainless steel appliances in the kitchen have all been replaced in the past 3 ½ years, and there are new ceiling fans and lighting in many rooms. There also is a ton of storage space in the partially finished attic. The yard is a gardener's delight, fully landscaped with mature cherry and apple trees, an inviting arbor shaded in vigorous concord grape vines, a soothing, plant-fringed pond, and has automated soaker hose irrigation throughout.
