4403 NE 26th Ave, Portland, OR 97211

Celebrate the best of Portland in this vibrant Craftsman, just blocks from everything fascinating and delicious in Alberta Arts and Beaumont-Wilshire. A porch swing invites you to slow down and take a moment to appreciate the tranquil, friendly street. The house is a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern updates; vintage features include a broad front porch, hardwood floors, extensive built-ins, a classic floor plan with a real foyer, and beautiful trim/moldings. Thoughtful updates include new HVAC, a dedicated mini-split for the upstairs, seismic retrofitting, new dishwasher, remodeled kitchen and baths, and luscious new exterior paint. Alternate between hospitality and privacy: enjoy a cook's kitchen and spacious formal rooms to welcome friends and family, or relax into privacy in the deluxe upstairs primary suite with library/media/meditation space, vaulted bedroom with gas fireplace, and gorgeous full tile bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual sinks. Feeling creative? Explore your potential in the 239 SF detached studio, which would also be a great home office, or refine it further to create an ADU. Step outside to enjoy sunny weather on the large deck or gather a handful of herbs from the raised garden beds--or stroll back to that front porch swing to revel in a perfect summer day.
