Discover this charming home nestled in the heart of Portland’s desirable Overlook neighborhood, just blocks to Willamette Boulevard and the bluff. The 1943 era Cape Cod features three levels. The living room has hardwood floors, coved ceilings & a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen and main level bath have been updated. New LVP in the kitchen and upstairs. Fresh interior paint throughout. The upstairs bedroom is ginormous with built-in storage as well as unfinished attic storage. There are two bedrooms on the main level, both with hardwood floors and one with a Murphy bed. There’s also an enclosed rear deck that is accessed off one bedroom—work out space? A brand new furnace and heat pump have just been installed, ensuring efficient temperature control! The basement is partially finished and offers additional storage. Outside, the property includes an oversized two-car garage with tall ceilings, a partial bath, lumber storage, and is equipped with propane heat, making it ideal for your automotive or other projects! The backyard is private with a tree-house and is awaiting your personal landscaping touches. Above the garage, an artist's studio offers a serene space for creativity, flooded with natural light from the vaulted ceilings and skylights. It has a kitchen space, 220V power, a potential bedroom and full bath. With a little tweaking, could easily be converted to an ADU. Sewer dump & hookup for RV next to garage. The home will have a new roof and gutters installed, and a decommissioned oil tank prior to closing. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10234250]

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
