5542 NE Flanders St, Portland

Picture your mornings starting on the covered front porch of this North Tabor bungalow, coffee in hand, waving hello to neighbors. This is the kind of home where days unfold at an easy pace: a little time in the garden, a walk to grab breakfast, and then out to enjoy everything Portland has to offer. Step inside and the home feels bright and welcoming, with fresh hardwood floors, new windows, and updated baseboards bringing new life to the vintage character. The living room flows into a true dining room, while the connected kitchen means whoever’s cooking never misses the conversation. Two bedrooms make quiet retreats, and the full bath’s clawfoot tub is ready for a long, unhurried soak. Off the back, a charming sunroom is ready for rainy-day reading, potted seedlings, or simply a spot to shed muddy boots and raincoats after a Forest Park hike. The basement is a bonus waiting for your next chapter: a home office, a gym, a studio for creative projects, or a potential bedroom, plus laundry and storage to keep everyday life organized.Out back, new stairs lead from the sunroom down to a fully fenced yard. Plum trees, lavender, jasmine, and hummingbird-friendly plants set the scene for summer dinners under the open sky, lazy afternoons, and weekend projects sparked by trips to nearby Portland Nursery. Watch the garden shift with the seasons. The work has been thoughtfully done so you can focus on living: Rejuvenation light fixtures, new outlets and switches in the front rooms and basement, updated bathroom sink plumbing, concrete resurfacing along the foundation, and gutters installed last year. Looking for a little extra room to move? The seller also owns the adjacent vacant lot, which is available for purchase at an additional cost. [Home Energy Score = 3.
