Property Description

Welcome to a home where historic charm meets modern peace of mind. Tucked right into the middle of one of Portland’s most dynamic and desirable neighborhoods, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow is just one block from the excitement and convenience of Alberta Street – Alberta Co-op Grocery, Tin Shed Cafe, Case Study Coffee, and public transportation are right outside your door. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by stunning period details: original hardwood floors, well preserved built-ins, and vintage accents. Yet the home has been thoughtfully updated for today’s living, with earthquake retrofitting, updated plumbing, modern electrical w/ new panel, and double-pane windows that preserve the classic wood frames. The bright living room offers the perfect place to relax and entertain, while the distinctive dining room provides a place to share meals, surrounded by period correct, William Morris wallpaper and a gorgeously preserved hutch. The light and bright kitchen is complete with soap stone countertops, a large farmers sink and modern appliances. On the main floor, you’ll find a bright bedroom with an en-suite stylishly updated full bathroom. The upper level offers three generously sized bedrooms, each filled with natural light and thoughtfully designed walk-in closets with built in storage— an uncommon luxury for a home of this era. An updated full bathroom also blends classic style with modern finishes.The magic continues outdoors— lush landscaping, a covered outdoor seating area, and a detached workshop create your own urban sanctuary, whether you're hosting guests or enjoying a quiet morning in the garden. Additionally, the high ceilings in the basement offers great flex space and the perfect opportunity for expansion. This is more than just a home—it’s a rare blend of history, comfort, and unbeatable location (walk score 95, bike score 100!) in the heart of the Alberta Arts District!
