Property details

About 3237 SE Alder St

In the heart of SE Portland's vibrant Belmont neighborhood, two blocks from shops and restaurants is this 1908 Bungalow. It is located in one of Portland's most walkable and hikeable neighborhoods. Inside you will find a bright living room, a spacious kitchen with stainless appliances and a vintage tiled bathroom. Integrity and historic character can be seen in the original well-maintained wood floors. Rooms have high ceilings, tall windows, plate rails, and rounded arches. The unfinished basement houses the washer and dryer and offers plenty of potential for expansion. Two bedrooms are on the main level and a charming light-filled third bedroom upstairs is paneled in ship lap beadboard. Recent upgrades include fresh paint, a new roof, new chimney, newer electric panel and gas furnace. The oil tank has been decommissioned. Enjoy sunny gathering spots at the front, or in the backyard with its covered deck and brick patio. A surprise feature is the one-of-a-kind sculptural piece that is the nose cone of an electric car developed by Reed College...a true touch of local history. Raised flower beds are a great set-up for gardening and the fenced back yard is perfect for pets. Amenities nearby include Laurlhurst Park, Hawthorne shops and restaurants, excellent schools, and a quiet neighborhood. (Walk Score 94, Bike Score 100) [Home Energy Score = 3.
