3719 Se 42nd Ave, Portland, OR 97206

This light-filled mid-century gem is a lovely example of Portlands post-war residential design. Original hardwood floors and mouldings, clean lines, and large windows preserve the era's character and craftsmanship. A spacious 2-bedroom, one-bath home, it includes a full-sized basement featuring tall ceilings and windows, perfect for your art studio, home office, media room, or yoga space. A mere block and a half from beautiful Creston Park, the home is tucked far back from the street, making it quiet and private. Your front door leads to the well-maintained and landscaped courtyard, the back door leads to your private off-street parking. In addition to the 15-acre natural oasis of Creston Park, the easily walkable, bikeable neighborhood offers close-by coffee shops, grocery stores, restaurants, pubs, and public transit. Updates include new paint, stainless appliances, electrical, a newer roof, and landscaping. HOA covers most utilities, including water, hot water, sewer, garbage, landscaping, and more. Pet-friendly, quiet, private. With a recent price reduction, the home is a compelling, affordable space to live, work from home, and thrive in one of Portland's most desirable neighborhoods.
