2023 NE Junior St, Portland, OR 97211

This incredible bungalow has been thoughtfully updated inside and out, including an amazing, eco-friendly yard. It underwent an extensive renovation in 2015, including a new roof, high-efficiency furnace, restored siding, and plumbing and electrical updates. In the years since, multiple energy-efficiency and seismic upgrades have made this a worry-free home but with the character you want. Enjoy soaring ceilings (up to 11 feet high) with tons of windows and skylights to let in the light, plus charming details such as penny tile, wood floors, and vintage light fixtures. -- LAYOUT -- The generous floorplan includes two main floor bedrooms and bathrooms, plus a large, sunny bedroom on the second floor. The big basement has another half bathroom and lots of bonus space to expand, plus its own outside entrance. -- UPDATES -- Smart updates include a newer roof and furnace plus central AC, seismic upgrades (earthquake anchoring, seismic gas shutoff), loads of insulation (attic, floor, rim joist, and wall) and air sealing. It's just been fully-painted inside and out. -- YARD -- The large, private yard is xeriscaped and is in the process of certification as a Backyard Habitat. It has figs, currants, and blueberries, plus raised beds for you to add more fruits and vegetables. The downspouts drain into rain gardens, which reduces runoff to streets and improves the habitat. Even the street trees were thoughtfully-chosen--they're native serviceberries, which require no water and have year-round interest including berries for birds. -- LOCATION -- The location is ideal-the home is on a quiet street with the sweetest neighbors, and it's only blocks from Tamale Boy, Tough Luck, and Ranch Pizza. The new University of Oregon campus is close by, as well as other great spots in the Dekum Triangle, Concordia, and Alberta Arts. [Home Energy Score = 4.
