718 SE 18th Ave, Portland, OR 97214

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 is blocks from Belmont and Hawthorne shopping. The SE Parkways bicycle route was 1 1/2 blocks west of us this 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, and it lives larger than it appears from the street. 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 lot is 25x100, but additions of the front deck and back patio have made this home live larger than it is. 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. More photos will be available soon of the interior of the house, but you are encouraged to come and see it for yourself. A drive by does not do it justice. Neighborhood Description Our home sits in a great close-in location, near shopping on popular Belmont and Hawthorne streets. It is a short two minutes to downtown Portland, and sits right on the public bus line.
