Property details
About 3438 SE Caruthers St
Stylish. Soulful. So SE Portland. | With elevated charm and undeniable curb appeal, this designer-owned bungalow sits quietly atop one of Richmond’s most beloved dead-end streets and features big windows, curated finishes, and spaces that flow effortlessly from one good moment to the next. With zero through-traffic and just steps from Division’s buzzy mix of bars, restaurants, and shops, it’s the best of all worlds. | The main level is all about natural light, wood floors and well-designed spaces. A large formal entry (rare for a bungalow!) leads into a sun-drenched living room with built-ins and a gas fireplace, then flows into a large dining room anchored by a vintage buffet. The oversized kitchen features a center island, plenty of storage, and access to outdoor dining. Two bedrooms and a full bath round out the main floor, with a third bedroom privately located upstairs. The basement is wide open and full of potential. The ceilings are high and the possibilities are endless: Family room, storage, second bath? | Outside, the good vibes continue: the front porch is made for evening hangs overlooking the lush garden; the side yard features string lights and grapevines over an outdoor dining area; and the backyard is a private oasis—ideal for firepit hangouts. A detached garage doubles as a party barn with ping pong, darts, and space for all your gear. | This block is special—neighbors look out for each other, and there’s a true sense of community you’ll feel from day one. All of this just steps from Division hot spots like Ava Gene’s, Salt & Straw, Lauretta Jean’s, Wellspent Market and Alpenrausch, recognized by Bon Appétit as one of the Best New Restaurants of 2024. | Updates include AC, gas fireplace insert, seismic retrofitting, radon system, new sewer line, Nest thermostat, and designer fixtures from George Nelson, Schoolhouse Electric and Hay. | Stylish, move-in ready, and full of heart - this one is pure Portland.
