Tabor Park - Portland's most serene and popular park, with spectacular territorial views - sits this epic mid-century, set back from the street on a very private street and surrounded by lush landscaping. If you love artistic touches, this home will leave you spellbound. Beautiful light throughout, vintage built-ins galore, Roman brick fireplace, kitschtastic pink and mint bathrooms, Franciscan Starburst tile... but there's plenty of modern updates as well, so you get the best of both worlds! Vintage kitchen with newer appliances adjacent to the adorable sunny kitchen breakfast nook from which to ponder with a perfect view of the backyard... plus there's a dedicated dining room that spills out to the backyard and deck. Live the indoor/outdoor lifestyle in this downright magical backyard, featuring hidden secret gardens, playstructure, chicken coop, raised garden beds, large deck, and established landscaping. Access the basement via separate side door entrance and mudroom to discover a living room area, wood burning fireplace, full bath, bedroom, plus bonus room/office, laundry room, and optimal big storage room - simply perfect for a future ADU or flex-living space. Location is tops for SE Portland: you're close to restaurants on Division, Montavilla, & 82nd, you can take your pups on daily jaunts to the off-leash Mt. Tabor Park, and easily commute.
