Originally built in 1923, this stunning Alameda bungalow stands tall today in one of the community's most sought after locations. As you approach the property you can't help but notice the established tree canopy that diffuses light across the home's east elevation. Passing through the picket fence onto the broad shouldered front porch you immediately feel a sense of shelter. Tongue and groove decking, stately doric columns and the gracious original front door reinforce the craftsmanship that highlights this home's historic relevance. Stepping into the main floor you will immediately notice the level of care and stewardship that has been applied to every space. Original oak hardwoods, built-in bookshelves and the white wall canvas play perfectly with both the period and new fixtures that grace the dining and living room. Anchoring the north end of the living room is a stately wood burning fireplace, while an open dining room and adjacent den balance the south side of the formal spaces. Divided light windows grace each room and flow seamlessly into the open kitchen which boasts new oak top-nail hardwoods, updated cabinetry and the perfect color scheme. Rounding out the over 1000 square foot main floor is a gracious bedroom and a stunning bathroom outfitted in custom carrara tile, designer fixtures and a gorgeous custom glass-enclosed shower.
Heading upstairs you will find over 400 square feet of finished space. Two gracious bedrooms bookend this floor and boast original douglas fir wood floors, a Jack and Jill closet and stunning colors. In addition to the finished surfaces there are numerous updates to the insulation and the mechanicals that are also evident in the basement. The basement comprises almost 900 square feet and includes gorgeous and clever updates at every turn. The expansive family room greets you first and is finished with the perfect casing, colors and utility along with the fourth bedroom. A finished laundry room sits at the south end of the floor while the home's second bathroom bookends the other side of the basement stairwell. The basement bathroom echoes the designer elements of the main floor bathroom and features cararra hex floors, a custom vanity, stunning field tile and clever cabinetry. A tankless water heater, extensive waterproofing and numerous updates to the electrical and plumbing reinforce the care that went into the remodel.
Beyond the almost 2400 finished square feet of the main home is a completely reinvented outbuilding which offers the perfect space for a home office, playroom or gym. Tongue and groove wall board, beautiful tile floors and an amazing glass roll up garage door allow the space to blend perfectly with the home's expansive patio. Outdoor living is exemplified in one of the most beautiful backyards you will find in northeast Portland. Established plantings give the yard the perfect sense of privacy while a custom shed, play structure and pergola add to the yard's appeal. Inside and out, you will take notice of the amazing stewardship and remodeling that has gone into this picture perfect Alameda home with an address just blocks to Alameda shops, the elementary school and a block from two of the communities most storied streets.
