View ListingAlberta Street bungalow dreams do come true!
This bright and updated classic welcomes you with the perfect front porch, the warmth of expansive original fir floors throughout the first floor and gorgeous custom CVG fir built-ins & kitchen cabinets. The light that’s pulled in from the six huge double-paned, high-efficiency, custom wood windows in the living room and dining room is just delightful. Other thoughtful and unique features include locally-sourced madrone stairs and countertop, custom stainless steel railing, original restored wood interior doors, custom CVG fir pocket closet doors, Wolf gas range, Bosch dishwasher, paperstone countertops and Rejuvenation fixtures throughout. There are two bonus room upstairs, connected by a large skylight in the hallway, as well as a bonus room in the basement. The basement, with its own separate entrance, also has a third bedroom with an egress window and a full bathroom.
Mature and lush landscaping creates a private oasis, and the eight custom COR-TEN steel raised beds in the backyard are the centerpiece. You can kick back on the ipe deck to take it all in on a quiet morning or warm evening, with the kitchen door right there for access. The detached garage on a quiet back alley beckons a creative space, or just simply additional storage.
With a Walk Score of 84 and a Bike Score of 98 (one block north of the Going Street bike boulevard!), access to all of the very best on Alberta Street is literally a stone’s throw away. Caffe Vita, Bella Pizza, La Bonita, Akasaru Ramen and the venerable Alberta Rose Theatre are within a short two block walk.
This is a special place and the perfect NE PDX home base. Don’t miss this one!
