PDX Four Square in the heart of Buckman

Location, location, location! This 1908 beauty is in the middle of it all! Sitting between SE Morrison and Stark on 18th, it is literally a 2 minute drive to downtown Portland, as well as 1.5 blocks from Colonel Summers park and Buckman Elementary School. It has a great walking score, and it is blocks from Belmont and Hawthorne shopping. The SE Parkways bicycle route was 1 1/2 blocks west of us last year! In addition to the unbeatable location, this home has tons of character and charm, and is an entertainer's delight. Modifications to the original home have expanded it's living space. It boasts high ceilings on both the main and 2nd story (rare in older homes) and has a finished basement with a brand new bathroom (with tiled shower stall) and separate outside entrance. There is a bathroom on each floor (full upstairs, half on the main, and full in the basement). It has 3 bedrooms, all on the upper level, and has a formal dining room and living room (seperated by pocket doors)on the ground level. The kitchen was recently remodeled, and features newer cabinets, under cabinet lighting, granite tile countertops, marmoleum floors, and a handy inswing window that looks out to the backyard. This home features original period windows, and all of them open! The back yard boasts an 8x10 cedar shed that could be used for multiple things such as an art studio, storage shed, kids playhouse, or office. The landscaping both in front and back is mature, and is easily maintained. The back yard is completely fenced, and there is an outdoor enclosed storage area along the side of the home. This home is truly move-in ready, and just waiting for that perfect family to make it their own. A drive by does not do this home justice.
