Thoughtfully Restored and Full of Charm

106 N Jessup Ave.  | Portland, OR 97217

Offered at $699,900 | MLS #23303125

4 Bedrooms | 2.1 Baths | 2,183 sq. ft.

This graceful English cottage bungalow exudes historic charm and character while being well-suited and updated for modern sensibilities. Loving stewardship shows throughout the thoughtful remodel, which includes a custom kitchen with quartz countertops and upgraded appliances, original oak floors, built-in storage, custom insulated wood windows, earthquake retrofitting, and a newer mini-split system.

The layout flows beautifully with no wasted space: the main floor features large living and dining spaces with a charming sunroom nook, and a bedroom and updated bath with vintage tile. The second floor has two more spacious bedrooms and a half bath. Downstairs, you’ll find a finished basement bonus room, a fourth bedroom with egress, a renovated full bath, and plenty of extra storage space.

Outside, delight in the magical oversized yard that spans a whole block with mature trees and plantings, a serene deck, chicken coop, and garden boxes. The rare two car garage is the perfect place to store all of your gear, or explore converting it into workspace or additional dwellings as part of the Residential Infill Project.

Best of all, this location is close to PDX dining and shopping hotspots on Mississippi, Williams, and Alberta, plus enjoy incredible nearby Peninsula Park with its rose gardens and swimming pool. Live your best urban life on this tranquil street with a walk score of 84 and a bike score of 95!
