This classic & sturdy 1913 bungalow is located two blocks north of Alberta Street, the heart and soul of NE Portland, and situated on a quiet, dead-end street with no through traffic. You simply won’t find a more ideal location to set down roots in the heart of the Alberta Arts District, one of Portland’s most iconic and desirable neighborhoods. The Walk Score is 93 and the Bike Score is a perfect 100!
From the moment you turn onto NE Sumner Street, you have the feeling of welcoming, calm and cozy surroundings. The bright, south-facing front porch invites you home and beckons you to kick up your feet and relax. The 9’ ceilings on the first floor provide a spacious feel to the typically compact layout, but this house spans three finished floors (and each floor has its own bathroom) and boasts original hardwoods, built-in cabinets, and leaded-glass details. All of this gives the home a timeless quality. This is a house brimming with potential for design-minded owners, but absolutely turn-key and move-in ready.
The living and dining rooms flow together seamlessly and create an open layout that leads directly to a spacious, working kitchen with plenty of cabinet and counter space. A back door from the kitchen leads to a well-kept garden oasis in the backyard, as well as the shared, detached garage. The backyard gets plenty of sunlight, especially in the summer, and there’s a great balance between garden beds and patio space for entertaining and chill time.
The master bedroom is located on the main floor and has a full bathroom en suite, as well as a walk-in closet. The second bedroom is upstairs, just past a sizable landing space, as well as a half-bath and large closet in the hallway. With the south-facing windows, it captures great light throughout the day.
The fully finished basement features a full bathroom, dedicated laundry space, and a large island for work, projects, and entertainment. A large utility and storage room sits in the front corner. There is also a separate exterior door to the basement, providing the potential for an AirBnB or ADU space (with some modifications). There is a surprising amount of storage around the house, including a beautiful set of custom built-in drawers in the basement stairs.
It’s impossible to list all of the shops, restaurants, bars, theaters, services and parks within one-mile (or less) of this perfectly-placed home, but if car-lite life and easy access to all that NE Portland has to offer are two of your home goals, this home will capture your heart. 💖

The choice to become a real estate broker was a joyful combination of two very different careers. Prior to moving to Portland in 2008, I was an environmental and title closing attorney in Massachustts. Since then, I've served as a program manager and fundraising professional for Portland-based non-profit organizations Friends of Trees, The Freshwater Trust and Ecotrust.
While not scouting homes and helping clients, you can find me riding bicycles, skiing, digging in the garden, experimenting in the kitchen, and exploring the stunning beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
Please let me know how I can help you or someone you know. Thank you!
