About this home
Charming Craftsman bungalow with fantastic curb appeal in a classic Northeast Portland setting! Step inside to a welcoming entry featuring a beautiful wood staircase and banister, with a bright living room just off the entry and a formal dining room off the kitchen. The home showcases timeless Craftsman character with rich wood accents and detailed molding throughout. The updated kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, a tiled backsplash, solid-surface countertops, and ample cabinetry. A flexible bonus space on the main level offers a convenient laundry area and half bath—perfect for a home office, mudroom, or additional living space. Upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms, including the primary, along with a full bathroom featuring tiled floors. The unfinished basement provides exciting potential to expand, with some framing already completed, plumbing in place for a future bathroom and laundry area, and a separate exterior entrance. Recent improvements include an updated electrical panel and a new roof installed last year for added peace of mind. Enjoy the charming backyard, ideal for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining, all while being close to neighborhood favorites like Irving Park, the shops and restaurants of the Alberta Arts District, dining and shopping along NE Broadway, and events at the Moda Center. A home with this much character, location, and future potential is one you’ll want to experience in person.
Eliot Conservation District, located between the Willamette River and NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, is a historic and residential Portland neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and landmark churches. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around N Mississippi Ave near N Skidmore St, where patios, small galleries, and late-night bites cluster under old storefront signs. Community pillars include Mississippi Studios, the historic Wonder Ballroom, and the Oregon Rail Heritage Center. Early-20th-century houses and brick apartment buildings set a classic streetscape. Dawson Park and the riverfront paths add green breathing room. MAX Yellow Line stops at Interstate/Rose Quarter and N Killingsworth tie the district to downtown and the rest of the eastside.
