Tucked away on a tree-lined street at the base of Mount Tabor, this sunny Cape Cod strikes a perfect balance between aspirational and grounded. Clean, modern finishes complement original 1940s charm, creating a home that feels simple, classic, and quietly refined. The main level centers around an ample yet warm living room anchored by a gas fireplace with vintage tile. Large updated windows let in consistent natural light for a calming, bright ambiance throughout the day. Hardwood floors lead into a thoughtfully refreshed kitchen featuring custom maple cabinetry, granite counters, a Fisher & Paykel gas range, and space for a cozy dining nook. The bathroom continues the clean, spa-like feel with fresh tile work and a deep soaking tub. The two main floor bedrooms are spacious and bright, with ample storage and built-in closet organizers in one, and a slider leading to the backyard in the other.Practicality meets potential in the backyard. The fully fenced outdoor space offers a sunny, flexible layout ready for gardening, entertaining, or slow weekends on the patio — complete with a slab prepped for a hot tub. Downstairs is the best kind of surprise, boasting the kind of ceiling height rarely found in a Portland basement. A versatile footprint includes a spacious flex area, third non-conforming bedroom, laundry with utility sink, and generous storage space. The Finlandia sauna is a welcome retreat on those grey, drizzly days. Just minutes to neighborhood cafes, food carts, parks, and schools, while still tucked into a peaceful South Tabor pocket. With a detached garage, updated systems, remodeled spaces, and room to grow, this abode offers a sweetly serene slice of SE Portland living.
