About this home
A classic Roseway bungalow where 1922 character meets the rhythm of modern Portland living. Mornings begin in a marble-topped kitchen, while original hardwoods, built-ins, paddle switches, and a wood-burning fireplace give each room a story of its own. Outside, a fully fenced backyard and mature fruit trees create a private garden that changes with the seasons, while the covered carport has found a second life as an inviting spot for outdoor dinners and gatherings. Solar panels bring a modern sensibility to this century-old home, and the generous basement offers room to create, work out, tinker, or simply store everything life collects. Neighborhood cafés, shops, parks, and sought-after eateries are close at hand, with convenient access to PDX airport and within all that the city has to offer. Warm, original, and just a perfectly Portland—a home with history and an enduring sense of place in the heart of the city we love. [Home Energy Score = 8.

Roseway, located between NE 42nd Avenue and NE 60th Avenue, is a residential and commercial Portland neighborhood with tidy mid-century bungalows and a compact grid of walkable blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around NE Sandy Blvd at NE 72nd Ave, where neon signage, corner taverns, and long-running eateries line the fast-moving corridor. The historic Roseway Theater anchors local nights out with marquee-lit screenings and community events. Otto’s Sausage Kitchen & Meat Market and the German American Society add old-Portland flavor through specialty foods and cultural gatherings. Side streets shift to brick cottages, small gardens, and pocket parks that keep the pace calm. Transit lines along Sandy and 82nd connect the area to the rest of the eastside.
