- Remarks:
- Welcome to the Alameda Bungalow. This is the kind of 1920 Craftsman Bungalow that makes people slow their car just to look twice. Wrapped in black with crisp white trim and surrounded by lush gardens, this home balances timeless Portland character with a little modern swagger. Step up to the porch (you will want to sit and stay awhile) and inside to a living room where White Oak floors glow against classic built-ins, crown molding, louvered shutters and a wood-burning fireplace that has you actually enjoying these rainy fall evenings. The dining room holds court with its original glass-door hutch. These are the kinds of authentic details you cannot fake. The kitchen blends vintage charm with new appliances and fixtures, and has just enough personality to make cooking feel like a creative act. The floor plan is surprisingly flexible, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the main and two bedrooms upstairs, including one sweet sleeping nook. The finished basement adds a family room, bonus room, laundry, and storage area with exterior access to easily load bikes and gear. (Plus space for every half-finished project you are not ready to admit you have abandoned.) Outside, the private fenced yard is a total vibe: hydrangeas, Japanese maples, a Dogwood tree, paver patio, monkey bars, new landscaping with French drains & uplighting, sprinkler system, and a level lawn ready for picnics or movie nights. There is a detached garage, driveway parking, and all the right updates: newer plumbing, central air, updated lighting. The charm is vintage (hello glass door knobs), but the systems are not. Just three blocks from Wilshire Park and four from Fremont and Alberta Street’s cafés, restaurants, and shops, this is one of those neighborhoods where people wave, kids bike to school, and life moves at a friendlier pace. Classic and effortlessly cool, the Alameda Bungalow has got history, glow, and just the right amount of Portland magic.
