519 SE 36TH AVE Portland, OR 97214

A true Portland original a block from Laurelhurst Park! Even though this cool retreat is tucked back off the street, its charm is hard to miss with a screened-in front porch that feels like it could be found in New Orleans. The classic front door offers the brrrring of the beautiful original doorbell. Inside, living spaces are packed with a perfect balance of character and style. The living room features exposed brick surrounding the large bay window, open shelving, and pristine hardwoods. This special home lives large with a generous formal dining room that leads to the stunning state-of-the-art kitchen with sleek wood cabinets, designer-worthy cool blue tile backsplash, island with bar seating, double ovens, and more! The cool feel permeates the rest of the house with moody paint and warm wood detailing in the bedrooms and main level bathroom, which of course includes a fabulous clawfoot tub. Downstairs is a vibey dream that could be a guest quarters or large 3rd bedroom (non-conforming), or relaxing family room with its own luxe bathroom and gorgeous shower. The lower level also offers ample storage and laundry area. Side yard is a lovely oasis with Trex deck covered by a picturesque pergola surrounded by lush mature landscaping. Located in the heart of Southeast an easy jaunt to the best Portland has to offer! [Home Energy Score = 8. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10060533]
