Just Listed: Stunning Wilshire Cottage

4524 NE Prescott St.

Portland, OR 97218

Built in 1943, this gorgeous cottage sits on a rare oversized lot just a couple blocks to NE 42nd shops. As you approach the home, you are greeted by a quaint front porch, manicured grounds, and the signature blue front door. Entering the main floor immediately highlights the period finishes including oak hardwoods, a wood burning fireplace and the original millwork. An open living room with an abundance of light leads to the dining room which is bookended on the west end of the home by the kitchen. Classic 50’s era cabinetry surrounds a picture perfect sink window with a clear perspective of the front yard and surrounding homes. Rounding out the main floor are two bedrooms and a full bathroom which, along with the formal spaces, total over 800 square feet. The second floor includes nearly 300 square feet and features new carpeting, bright colors and an abundance of space to serve as a master bedroom, guest quarters or a great place to unwind.

In addition to the above grade living areas there is an amazing basement with a conforming stairwell, great head height, and over 800 square feet of space. The next stewards have numerous options for adding a bedroom, bathroom, a family room or just embracing the squeaky clean basement as it stands today. With new exterior paint, a newer composition shingle roof, and an attached garage, this home provides the next owners with highly functional interior spaces complemented by an amazing, oversized lot. Ideal for the urban farmer or anyone looking for more outdoor space, this property has a backyard that is twice as deep as most northeast Portland properties. Located in one of Portland’s most cherished communities this 40’s era cottage, and the incredible lot it sits upon, comprise a Wilshire address you won’t want to miss.
