3234 SE ANKENY ST, Portland, OR 97214

If Goldilocks wandered into this enchanting corner of Laurelhurst — tucked beside a 31-acre park and just blocks from bustling restaurant row — her leisurely stroll down tree-lined streets dotted with boutiques, pastries, and craft cocktails would stop at 3234. She’d smile and say, “Just Right.” Perched above the sidewalk on a quiet one-way street, this Craftsman bungalow blends period charm with thoughtful modern updates. Step inside to oak floors, new windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and a cozy front room that invites you to linger. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring a well-designed work triangle, high-end appliances, and abundant natural light. Just off the kitchen, the family room offers a perfect spot for lazy weekend projects, soaking up morning sun, or stargazing from the back deck. The flexible layout includes two bedrooms on the main level and two more upstairs, ideal for guests, home offices, or kiddos. Extensive upgrades to major systems give you peace of mind while leaving room for your personal design touches elsewhere. The full basement is partially finished, with a laundry area, storage rooms, and a small second bathroom. Out back, you'll find a surprisingly private oasis — a fully fenced yard with drought tolerant plants, a crushed-stone patio, and space to relax or entertain. The shared driveway accommodates parked vehicles and adds convenience through a side entrance to the kitchen/basement. And when Goldilocks wakes from her long nap? The options are endless — hula hooping in the park, catching a movie, shopping at Whole Foods, or grabbing a pizza from Ken’s Artisan. It’s an A+ location in a top-rated school district — and truly, a dog’s dream. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10188515]
