Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1919, the property has undergone significant system upgrades including updated electrical, plumbing, and a tankless water heater. The kitchen and bathrooms have been renovated with Paperstone and Marmoleum; while the listing suggests some remaining cosmetic work (paint/flooring), the major mechanicals and functional spaces are well-maintained and move-in ready.
Ideally situated in the heart of Columbia City, the property offers exceptional walkability to the Light Rail, PCC, Farmers Market, and a vibrant array of local shops and restaurants.
The flat lot with alley access and a large detached garage is a rare find, specifically configured to support the addition of two future DADUs while preserving off-street parking.
The home features updated electrical and plumbing systems along with a tankless water heater, ensuring the core infrastructure is sound and reducing the risk of costly behind-the-wall repairs.
The property is being sold with the expectation of remaining cosmetic work, including flooring, paint, and finishes, which will require an additional immediate investment of time and capital.
All bedrooms are located in the finished lower level, which may be a drawback for buyers who prefer traditional above-grade sleeping quarters or more natural light in primary living areas.
Location, location, location. A short walk to Columbia City Light Rail and the heart of the neighborhood, this home puts PCC, the Farmers Market, restaurants, shops, coffee, and parks right outside your door.The property sits on a flat lot with alley access, a long level driveway, and a large detached garage, a setup that's increasingly rare and quietly valuable. A private backyard with deck and mature landscaping rounds it out, and the lot configuration opens a clear path to two future DADUs while preserving generous off-street parking.Inside, fir floors carry through the main level into a kitchen with eco-board cabinet fronts and Paperstone countertops. Both full baths feature Marmoleum flooring. The finished lower level holds the bedrooms and a utility room with a tankless water heater. Updated electrical and plumbing mean the next owner inherits a home where the remaining work is cosmetic, flooring, paint, and finishes, rather than anything behind the walls.
