A reader spotted this house for sale at 2241 SE 26th and wrote in:
"I was driving through SE the other day and passed this house by. It looked very nice from the outside and the area was great. I thought to myself, "That's likely to be a bit out of your price range but it doesn't hurt to take a look..." MLS # 8021444
When I saw the price I couldn't believe my eyes - $625k?! When I got home I looked up the MLS number and checked portlandmaps. They purchased it last year for 340k."
According to PortlandMaps it's had a new garage added (but no pics, shame, I'm a big fan of garages), and had the basement finished. Other than that it looks to have had a full paint job and kitchen redo. If they get their asking price they'll make a pretty penny. My first impression was that it was overpriced, but according to Trulia it's in the ballpark on a price/ sq ft basis ($235, right at median price according to Trulia ) for the Hosford Abernethy area, but it is on a small lot (3750 sq ft).
Am I the only person who's tired of granite counter tops? I'm starting to miss Formica! I'm also not a big fan of the tile around the fireplaces, but that's just me.
