Welcome to Brightside. A classic 1924 Portland bungalow reimagined by designers with meticulous attention to detail. Every update honors the home’s historic character (warm wood floors, custom millwork, period finishes) while adding ease to daily life. Step through the sunny yellow door into generous spaces with restored hardwoods. The kitchen is styish and practical: hand-built cabinetry with fir faces, madrone edges, limestone countertops, and a sweet dining nook. The main-floor bedrooms are spacious and quiet. Enormous second-floor suite has vaulted ceilings, dual walk-in closets, and a bonus space (nursery? office?) to use as you wish. Ensuite bathroom has reclaimed fixtures and a large clawfoot tub for soaking your bones. The finished (and permitted) lower level adds a living, sleeping, and project space- and a third bath.The wide front porch watches over neighborhood life. Private backyard is ripe with figs and perfect for hammock time. Oversized alley-access garage has an EV-charging & bonus elecrical panel.Extensively renovated with attention to detail: full rewire, new electrical panel, PEX plumbing, updated roof & furnace. Recent upgrades include seismic retrofitting, fireplace insert, central air, 25+ new windows.Halfway between Mississippi and North Williams- and a block to Unthank Park- Brightside gives you the best of Portland—design, culture, and community—while keeping the feel of a true neighborhood home. Lovingly cared for, beautifully updated, and full of historic charm, it’s easy to see life on the Brightside.
