524 NE BRIDGETON RD

There's a version of Portland life that doesn't get talked about enough. Quiet streets, water out your window, a neighborhood built around the river. That's Bridgeton. And for those who know what that's worth, what better opportunity to step into that lifestyle.Every December, the Christmas Ships make their run down the Columbia right past your doorstep -- a tradition approaching its eighth decade in our city. Fourth of July fireworks reflect off the water from the same view. In the warmer months, The Deck and Sabor del Rio Cafe -- both floating restaurants on the river -- are just minutes away. And Salty's on the Columbia, one of Portland's most decorated seafood destinations, anchors the stretch of Marine Drive that's become its own destination. The neighborhood connects to the 40-Mile Loop trail system as well, providing flat, paved cycling along the river from your door. The home itself is a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath townhome that's been genuinely well-maintained and updated where it counts -- including a new roof, new furnace, and new AC. The main living level is the heart of the home - an open, flowing layout where the kitchen, dining room, and living room connect naturally and fill with light throughout the day. The primary suite features vaulted ceilings, a spacious walk-in closet, soaking tub, and a tiled frameless glass shower. The third bedroom on the lower level doubles well as a home office with built-in desk and cabinetry already in place.Bridgeton is the kind of neighborhood where people tend to stay a long time. Once you're here, it's easy to understand why.
