Charming, character-filled, custom-renovated 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom North Portland home
Welcome to this custom-renovated three-bedroom, one-bathroom North Portland home,
where original character and real functional upgrades take priority over surface-level
staging. This isn't a flip it was rebuilt by its owner, a design/build contractor, in 2023.
The living room is a 400 sq ft addition built onto the original 1970 home. It has vaulted
ceilings, two skylights one which opens, and real hardwood floors, with new solid red
oak matched to the home's original flooring throughout the rest of the house. A deluxe
remote-controlled gas fireplace (flame, fan, and lighting) is perfect for chilly nights
The kitchen was fully reworked during the renovation: new butcher-block countertops,
LED cabinet lights, a gas range, and a dimmable extractor hood. All new appliances:
microwave, disposal, fridge.
Each bedroom has its own perks. The primary bedroom includes top-down/bottom-up
blackout shades for fine control of light and airflow. A second bedroom makes a ready-
made studio space, wired with CAT6 directly to the room as part of the home's gigabit
symmetric fiber setup (ONT on-site), with acoustic dampening built into the wall. App
controlled house lights allow for remote adjustment of color temperature. The third
bedroom also has a CAT6 ethernet port, and a genuinely lovely bay window overlooking
the yard. Destress by birdwatching in the garden!
The bathroom was also completely redone during the 2023 remodel. The walk-in
shower features a high flow two-way shower valve so the wand and the main head can
be run at the same time. The floor has electric heating elements that run on a
programmable timer, perfect for first thing in the morning.
Climate control is fine tunable: The house has central air conditioning (increasingly non-
optional in a Portland summer) and a high-efficiency gas furnace. To balance those the
venting skylight, the shades, and the already-mentioned heated bathroom floor allow
you to be comfortable all the time without beating up on the planet.
The attached one-car garage has a laundry area with washer and dryer, tons of storage,
including some custom enclosed cabinets that offer real, usable storage. The driveway
can fit three cars.
The yard has a new lawn (spring 2026) surrounded by climbing flowers, a raised garden
bed with dedicated dry-season irrigation. With a reflecting surface on the nearby fence,
Monster Veggies are the default harvest!
This spot is ideal for dogs and humans who like the outdoors. Trenton Park is 130 feet
away, Columbia Park a half mile up the road, Chimney Park's, the off-leash dog park, a
couple minutes down Columbia Blvd., and Kelly Point Park (open and wild) not much
further. The Marine Drive Bike Trail picks up at Kelley Point Park and passes just blocks
away from the house, for riders who want the Columbia River route. Delta Park and
Heron Lakes Golf Course sit on the actual site of Vanport, a piece of local history most
people have never heard of. Real mountain time, hiking or skiing, is closer than the map
suggests. The neighborhood itself is Kenton, with its own walkable shops and cafes. It
is minutes from the Mississippi-Williams corridor and the Alberta Arts District, downtown
is also a short drive, and PDX airport is only about 20 minutes away.
