This light-filled 1909 gable-front cottage with Craftsman touches in the heart of Sellwood blends historic charm, space, and thoughtful updates. With 1,772 sq ft plus a 581 sq ft non-conforming basement, it lives larger than expected. Fir floors, 9' ceilings in the living and dining rooms, beautiful windows, and an open floor plan add warmth and character. The updated kitchen and bathrooms—remodeled before the current owner purchased in 2024—offer stainless steel appliances and a modern look. A dedicated laundry room is conveniently located off the kitchen. Main-level bedroom plus two upstairs. Indoor upgrades include upgraded 200 AMP electrical and AC. Outdoor highlights feature a covered back patio, round Nordic Hot Tub (purchased one year ago), raised garden beds, an established maple tree, and a fully fenced backyard. The private yard is ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Steps to SE 13th Ave shops, dining, and the local library in a walkable neighborhood you’ll love. Open houses Saturday & Sunday, August 16th and 17th, from 12–2 PM. [Home Energy Score = 2. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10222854]
