This gorgeous 1904 bungalow is a rare gem that perfectly blends vintage charm, urban homestead vibes, and modern updates, all in a stellar close-in SE location. Situated on an oversized ~9000 sq ft lot, this home offers an open floorplan with tons of customization possibilities. Enjoy an open, light-filled living area with views of the surrounding foliage. The heart of the home is a lovingly renovated kitchen featuring reclaimed oak countertops, restored original hardwood floors and ceiling, custom cabinetry, and modern appliances. Tall ceilings, large windows, and a thoughtful layout make the home feel spacious and bright. A separate office offers flexible space for work, guests, or nursery. The magic continues outside: a show-stopping catio (featured in Catio Tour + KPTV!) connects both levels of the house, and the expansive backyard is a permaculture-inspired paradise with fruit trees, berries, veggies, native plants, and 8 cedar garden boxes. The covered front porch and pergola create year-round outdoor living. Huge detached 2-car garage—ideal for a workshop or creative space. Updates include Milgard windows, central A/C, insulation, heat pump water heater, updated electrical & plumbing, and more. The basement has 6.5’ ceilings and exterior access—tons of potential for expansion or ADU (buyer to verify zoning). Just steps to Coffee Beer for a caffeine hit or libation, blocks from Trader Joe’s, bars, and restaurants, and near major bus/bike routes. Whether you’re a gardener, cat lover, young family, or all of the above, this unicorn of a home is a one-of-a-kind find in this price range. Come see why the owners fell in love with this adorable abode! [Home Energy Score = 8. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10236836]

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
