615 SE Spokane St, Portland, OR 97202

Perched above Spokane Street in the heart of Sellwood, this quintessential Sellwood bungalow nods to Portland’s earliest days. Originally built to house workers at the historic lumber mill on Spokane, its spirit has been thoughtfully carried forward by generations of stewards. Today, it strikes a rare balance, preserving original character while enhancing it with tasteful and functional updates. Original fir floors, twin leaded-glass built-ins, and a rustic woodstove ground the home in its history, while an open, efficient layout keeps spaces feeling defined yet connected. Sightlines stretch from front to back, making the space feel larger than its footprint—equally suited for cozy nights in or lively dinners with friends. The kitchen blends old and new with intention: butcher block counters, custom shelving, a vintage-inspired faucet, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range. A side entrance offers easy flow for dining al fresco. It’s warm, functional, and quietly dialed. Three bedrooms offer flexibility, with one positioned perfectly for a home office or study, and two tucked at the back for privacy—each with generous walk-in closets. The bespoke aesthetic continues into the bathroom, featuring a custom ceramic sink from Wolf Ceramics and handcrafted wood shelving. Outside, the broad front porch invites slow mornings and evening winddowns. A detached studio, recently re-sided with old growth cedar salvaged from the coast, opens the door for creative pursuits. Edible plantings and pollinator-friendly blooms fill the yards, and the barrel tub offers a choose-your-own-adventure moment: hot soak or cold plunge. With easy access to Oaks Bottom, Sellwood & Riverfront Parks, the Springwater Trail, the Bridge and dining/shopping destinations, this location hits that sweet spot—connected, but quietly removed.
