Comments for 2136 SE 38TH AVE, Portland, OR 97214
A rare opportunity to own a piece of Richmond that truly has it all. This enchanting 1907 craftsman sits on a double lot â?? nearly a quarter acre of lush, mature grounds that feel like a private sanctuary in the heart of one of SE Portland's most beloved neighborhoods. From the moment you arrive, the camellia-draped covered front porch and classic yellow facade set the tone: this is a home that has been deeply loved.Inside, original craftsman details shine â?? warm woodwork, built-ins, period fixtures, and hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen is a standout, with a sunlit breakfast nook, stainless appliances, and French doors opening to the back deck and garden.The flexible floor plan works for everyone. A main-level bedroom and full bath offer guest or work-from-home space. The upstairs primary suite is dreamy â?? skylights, a south-facing nook, ample closets, and a beautifully tiled ensuite. The finished lower level features high ceilings, a full bath, laundry, and a separate exterior entrance â?? plumbed for a kitchen and an exceptional ADU candidate (R2.5 zoning, buyer to verify).Outside, a brick patio, mature trees, and a charming detached studio create an urban oasis unlike anything else in the neighborhood.The bones are new: roof (2024, lifetime warranty), Mitsubishi mini splits (2024), and a full foundation replacement in 2020 with updated electrical, plumbing, and tankless water heater.Walk to Little Beast, Pretty Boy Pizza, Loretta Jean's, Pinolo Gelato, and New Seasons. Ride the Lincoln greenway from your door. This location is a 10. [Home Energy Score = 4. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10226491]
