Property Description

Less than two blocks from the Alberta Arts District and Alberta Park, this vintage bungalow brims with original character and thoughtful updates where they count. Beautiful period details remain intact, including original built-ins in the living room and both bedrooms, unpainted woodwork, hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace that anchors the warm and inviting interior. The bright, formal living and dining rooms connect seamlessly, creating an openness rarely found in homes of this vintage. The spacious kitchen delights with a butcher block countertop, updated stainless steel appliances and easy access to the backyard and mud room. Set above the street for added privacy, this home is surrounded by lush, Oregon-native landscaping and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces. A newer Trex deck overlooks a spacious backyard with raised garden beds, fruit-bearing plum and persimmon trees, and room to create your own urban homestead. Whether you're growing vegetables, hosting summer dinners or harvesting fresh eggs from your own chicken coop, there's room for it all here. System updates include a whole-house PEX replumb, newer water line, updated appliances and an unfinished basement with exterior entry and mud room offering abundant storage, workshop space or future flexibility. A long driveway and detached garage provide valuable off-street parking. Just blocks from the Alberta Arts District, in one of Northeast Portland's most beloved neighborhoods. Enjoy easy access to Alberta Park, Concordia, Northeast Portland Tool Library, Alberta Co-op, New Seasons, neighborhood cafés, restaurants, bars, vintage shops and countless local favorites. With convenient access to both I-5 and 99E, this home offers city living with character, community and connectivity at your doorstep. [Home Energy Score = 3.
