About this home
Daily life in SE Portland has a way of feeling connected. From neighbors, to local coffee shops and restaurants, to Laurelhurst Park, life in Kerns is a breath of fresh air. This thoughtfully updated home sits right in that mix, offering the charm of an older Portland home with meaningful improvements that support modern living. Inside, Douglas fir floors, believed to be original to the home, bring a sense of history and warmth from the moment you walk in. The main living area feels open and welcoming, with easy flow into the formal dining room. It’s comfortable for a quiet weeknight dinner, but just as ready for a gathering of family/friends. The spacious kitchen gives you room to cook with space to store what you need. The layout creates flexibility for different seasons of life: with three bedrooms above, one below, plus one bonus bedroom/flex room below. The lower level also features a second kitchen to support multi-generational living, longer-term guests, or a more independent living arrangement. Updates here are practical and confidence-building: Andersen windows, a radon mitigation system, seismic retrofit, upgraded attic insulation, and structural engineering work completed on the garage. Approximately one foot of added attic insulation helps with comfort and efficiency, while the garage’s improved electrical service makes it useful for hobbies, storage, projects, or future workspace needs. Outside, the backyard feels more like a small urban garden woven into the life of the home. A mature fig tree, established strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, and spring tulips give the area a sense of rhythm through the seasons. Laurelhurst Park, schools, and the restaurants, cafés, and shops that make Kerns one of Portland’s most beloved neighborhoods are just minutes away. This is a home for people who want to gather, host, and feel rooted in the everyday life of SE Portland. [Home Energy Score = 4. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10244197]...
