Property Description
Welcome to this adorable 2-bedroom, 2-bath St. Johns bungalow—where neighborhood charm, backyard dreams, and future potential all live happily ever after.Set on a quiet, relaxed street, this cottage-style home offers a cozy retreat just minutes from St. Johns’ beloved restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and community favorites. Inside, you’ll find an easy, livable layout, and a home that’s ready to welcome you as-is—or evolve alongside your vision. The full basement boasts tall ceilings, making it an ideal candidate for future finished space, a creative studio, or the ultimate bonus room.The real showstopper? The extra-large lot. Whether your dream includes an ADU, a garden party, or simply picking fruit from your own trees, this property delivers. Mature apple, plum, plumcot, and fig trees—plus blueberries and raspberries—make this an urban farmer’s delight. Established raised beds, drip irrigation, and a pesticide-free landscape keep things easy and eco-friendly. A detached garage adds flexibility for storage, hobbies, or future plans.Behind the scenes, lots of the big stuff is already done: updated sewer line, metal roof, 200-amp electrical panel, lead hazard abatement, and more—so you can skip the stress and focus on making it your own. Custom architectural touches, including gates and a built-in hyperbolic bookshelf designed by architect Glen Small (yes, the MoMA one), add just the right dose of personality.This is a home that knows how to have fun—close to the action, grounded in community, and calm when you want it to be. Come see why St. Johns is such a special place to call home. [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10243693]
