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]
