Coffehouse Five
A neighborhood classic with excellent coffee perfect for a quick morning latte, laptop work session, or meeting.
“The neighborhood is quiet in the way you can hear birds instead of traffic, but you’re also a short hop from some of Portland’s greatest hits like Eem, where you will happily wait for a table, or Polaris Hall where you can catch a show.”
First Impressions
This home has a special je ne sais quoi that you feel as soon as you arrive. From the cobblestone walkway made from reclaimed stones from Killingsworth Street, to the leaded glass windows on the facade and the adorable brass bunny knocker by the front door…this house has so many stories to tell.
“The catalpa in front of the house with it's big, heart-shaped leaves and green bean-like pods looks like it belongs in a fairytale. In the late spring the tree blooms with clusters of white flowers, brushed with purple, and fills the street with a sweet smell and dappled light.
People walking by pause and take in the magic. It's also a favorite among the neighborhood birds, who choose to make their nest in its branches.”
The Little Free Library
This home is home to one of Portland’s Little Free Libraries—community-built book exchanges where neighbors can take a book or leave one to share. They’re a beloved part of many neighborhoods, adding a charm to the streets while encouraging reading and connection among neighbors.
“In the morning, I would sit on the front porch to drink my coffee while listening to birds chirp. During the colder months, I took my routine indoors to take in the warmth of the cozy gas fireplace.”
A Flexible Floor Plan
The entry, spacious open living and dining areas, and main-level bedroom offer plenty of flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles. Past owners used the entry as a spot for a piano and the bedroom as a cozy TV lounge, while others have swapped the living and dining spaces. However you live, the spaces are able to flex with your needs, whether that’s a home office, guest room, reading nook, or creative studio.
“The flow of the house is fantastic for gatherings! At our annual SOUPer Bowl Party (for people who enjoy soup more than football), our friends would gather around the TV and dining room snack station, take bets on commercials, and eat soup.
I also hosted a few tie dye parties in the back yard, and having so many different areas where people could work on their pieces or hang out under the covered patio made it work perfectly.”
A Kitchen Designed For Gathering
The kitchen boasts nearly 200 SqFt of space, making it possible to cook and socialize simultaneously. The large center island—a rare find in homes of this era—provides space for epic potluck spreads and loved ones to congregate. While contemporary layouts with open kitchen/living plans offer a similar functionality, you won’t have to worry about the exposed visual clutter of dirty dishes and kitchen mess while hanging out in the dining or living areas of this home.
“The huge kitchen makes hosting potlucks and food-centered gatherings a breeze.
For my “Spud In The Oven” themed baby shower, we had an impressive spread of 30+ baked potato toppings laid out on the island. It was fun to host pizza parties where everyone would bring toppings and we could hang out around the island while working on our pizza creations.”
Lower Level Potential
Storage Galore!
Portland bungalows were built in an era when wardrobes were tiny, which meant that storage and closet space was a low priority. This home is a delightful exception! Not only does each bedroom feature a spacious walk-in closet, but the primary includes a fantastic $8K custom-designed organization system that brings a touch of quiet luxury to your daily routine…with an additional closet across the room for good measure.
A Peaceful Backyard Retreat
In addition to the spacious backyard, this home features a uniquely large side yard with multiple patios and nooks for different types of outdoor activities. The covered patio is perfect for group gatherings—rain or shine—while the adjacent concrete patio can accommodate additional seating or tables. The low-maintenance landscaping, professionally designed by Pride & Joy Landscapes in 2023, brings a thoughtful aesthetic and provides generous garden space. Tucked into a quiet corner just outside the side kitchen entry, a Scandinavian-style wooden hot tub is a relaxing retreat after a long day, while the fire pit creates a cozy gathering spot for crisp fall evenings.
“Sitting outside during the rainy season under the covered patio and listening to the plunk of the rain on the tin roof is so calming! You can hang a heat lamp from the structure and enjoy the space year round, whatever the weather may be.”
“The backyard bioswale was a labor of love and engineered with help from Pride and Joy Landscapes. With a bioswale, you may qualify for Portland’s Clean River Rewards program, which helps lower your stormwater bill.
However, the real incentive is knowing the bioswale reduces runoff, filters water before it reaches storm drains and local waterways, and provides habitat for pollinators.”
