This craftsman bungalow perfectly placed on almost a third of an acre in Sellwood is a testament to the enduring allure of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The warm natural woodwork, wood floors, and original details evoke a sense of history and artistry, creating an atmosphere of nostalgic beauty. The welcoming front porch invites you to step into a world of charm and character. Its thoughtful design and cozy ambiance make it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings, capturing the essence of the craftsman architectural style. The updated kitchen is a harmonious blend of classic design and modern functionality. With a custom-designed eating area that complements the architectural elements of the house, it not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also allows for abundant natural morning light, creating a delightful space to start your day. Preserving the historic beauty of this craftsman bungalow was a priority, and the meticulous attention to detail shines through. While the original features have been carefully maintained, the mechanical aspects have been thoughtfully updated. Modern electric, plumbing, HVAC, and seismic strapping and foundation work ensure comfort, safety, and convenience while seamlessly integrating with the home’s timeless appeal. The yard and setting are a rarity in the city. The park like lot measures 100 x 125 feet, and boasts mature tress, native plantings and raspberries. More than just a classic and historic home, the 900 SQFT detached art studio/woodworking/makers space was built to compliment the house and garage aesthetic, while offering big, open and light-filled spaces inside. Features include a half bath, skylight, full heating and cooling, plumbing for a kitchen, and 1/2 of the building has plywood backed sheetrock walls for hanging art. All of this in the heart of Sellwood with a 95 walk score and 99 bike score. This is a very special opportunity to be only the 4th owner of this 1905 home. HES 3
