Attention contractors, historic preservationists, and experienced rehabbers: This 1907 Craftsman Bungalow in the close-in SE Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood is a rare, mostly untouched fixer in near-original condition. With no botched DIY projects or poorly executed previous additions to undo, this is a pure restoration canvas. Perfectly positioned for the ultimate Portland lifestyle, the home sits nearly across the street from Piccolo Park and just one block south of the renowned restaurants, cafes, and boutiques of SE Division Street. It also sits elevated above the SE Clinton Street greenway, a delightfully traffic-calmed haven where two-wheeled commuters outnumber cars. A grand, full front porch provides excellent privacy and views of the neighborhood bike traffic below. Inside, the main level features spacious 9-foot ceilings that elevate the entire space, highlighted by a classic built-in buffet in the dining room. Unlike many bungalows of this era, the upstairs features a true second level with bedrooms, bathroom and hall with full vertical walls instead of restrictive, sloping attic angles. All three bedrooms feature hardwood floors and walk-in closets. You will also find hardwood flooring in the upper-level hallway, as well as the living and dining rooms, which have just been beautifully refinished. This is a perfect opportunity for a renovation flipper or handy owner-occupant looking to build immediate equity in a funky, high-demand neighborhood. New sewer line 2009, and no underground oil tanks were found on the property in a recent tank sweep. Sold as-is, seller to do no repairs.

About
Hosford-Abernethy
Hosford-Abernethy, located between the Willamette River and SE 39th Avenue, is a residential and industrial Portland neighborhood with riverfront paths and a warehouse-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around SE Division Street near SE 12th Avenue, where sidewalk patios, indie boutiques, and small restaurants set a steady, social pace. The Aladdin Theater anchors live music nights, while Olympia Provisions and the Clinton Street Theater add culinary craft and cult-film tradition. Early-1900s bungalows and classic Portland foursquares sit beside converted light-industrial buildings and newer apartments. The Tilikum Crossing and nearby bridges frame daily movement across the Central Eastside. Parks and greenways thread through the grid, keeping the streetscape walkable and grounded.
