This sun-filled and serene Alberta Arts bungalow is an absolute classic that sits high off the street, and has been lovingly cared for and updated in so many ways. This is arguably one of the best locations in NE Portland, less than 2 blocks to Alberta Street and just north of the Going Street Greenway. This street is also a quiet bikeway, with friendly and community-forward neighbors.
As you approach the front door, you pass through the custom cedar fence and gate, surrounded with mature landscaping, and walk down the striking Montana flagstone pathway. Step through the front doors into two generous front rooms — dining room, and living room with fireplace — and you will immediately notice the original oak and fir floors that have been newly-refinished and sparkle in the bright morning light from the large east facing windows. You’ll pass under graceful arched entryways as you move through the first floor, through the kitchen to the breakfast nook and side door, past the bathroom with the original clawfoot tub, past the two first-floor bedrooms, and out the french doors to the covered deck and private backyard.
Just beyond that is the oversized 480sf detached garage that’s waiting for all of the studio, makerspace, and storage dreams to come true.
The second floor owner’s suite — remodeled in 2017 with wool carpet, skylights and a gorgeous reimagined bathroom — has a walk-in shower, dual-sink marble vanity and heated tile floors. It’s an oasis. Finally, the basement — with its 6’11” ceiling, 12’x19′ unfinished room and exterior entrance — is just waiting for a future build-out.
This house is built sturdy and has been well-cared for throughout the current 15 year ownership. This is a perfect opportunity for someone to take the next steps with their vision and inspiration!
