Rarely does an opportunity come along with this much character, craftsmanship and upside potential. Fifty years in the same family, this grand Craftsman is ready for its next chapter. Exquisite clear-grain fir woodwork throughout, including built-ins, wainscoting, plate rails, pocket doors, bench seating and beautiful original casings that glow in the sunlight. Classic, formal floor plan offers generous, light-filled rooms, tall ceilings, four spacious upstairs bedrooms, a napping porch and main-floor den/office. Dreamy, recently remodeled kitchen features endless beautiful cabinetry, high-end appliances, breakfast bar, beautiful built-ins while updated HVAC and mostly replaced windows provide a huge head start on the improvements. Much of the remaining work is cosmetic, with carpeting and wallpaper standing between today's reality and tomorrow's potential. Easily accessible attic offers exciting possibilities for additional living space, while the finished lower level with exterior access lends itself perfectly to guest quarters or potential ADU. Peekaboo views of the West Hills and eastward from upstairs, a private sunny fenced backyard and a welcoming front porch made for sunsets and waving to neighbors. Brooklyn's tight-knit neighborhood atmosphere is complemented by easy access to everything: inner eastside haunts, parks, music performance venues, bike routes, bus lines, light rail, OHSU, South Waterfront, and downtown. Great bones, irreplaceable craftsmanship and a little vision; these are the ingredients for a truly rewarding restoration project.
