First Impressions
“The first thing we noticed when we pulled up to the house was how beautiful the neighborhood was…it's charm and character. I remember feeling right at home …We love the big bright living room with high ceilings! We also loved feeling like we were in our own little "perch" above the street, with a beautiful porch to hang out on. It really was "love at first sight" and gave us "a big warm feeling”.
— The Sellers
“There are so many wonderful neighbors on this street. I vividly recall our first day moving in when we were greeted by our next door neighbors with freshly picked raspberries and blueberries from Sauvie Island.
We were also greeted by our neighbors across the street with a freshly baked loaf of homemade sourdough bread. We became great friends with some neighbors down the street who are amazing musicians....Once a year they'd have a back yard bbq and the band would play for the entire street, it was so much fun!”
Beaumont-Wilshire
Known for it’s charming homes, quiet neighborhood feel, and easy access to an array of shops and entertainment—Beaumont-Wilshire has long been known as one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Portland.
“We love the walkability of this neighborhood! There are so many hidden gems in every direction.
Our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood is Urnadeeta, we've had many dates nights here and celebrated some very special occasions. Chaba Thai was a staple in our home for those evening after a busy work day when cooking was just not in the cards. We loved the chilled seafood platter on a summer day at Salty's, Gabianos, Weilder, Little Griddle for breakfast, Tin Shed Cafe with the pup friendly menu, Pizza Jerk, the Bye and Bye for vegan food, Salt and Straw for Ice Cream and Pip's donuts on Fremont. Ooooooh and Bamboo Sushi on Alberta for the win! Oooohhh and Nectar for frozen yogurt on Fremont, my favorite!”

For The Dogs
Hi, I’m Satine the poodle! My humans bought me this house a while back and I graciously allowed them to live here. I spent approximately 6,972 hours watching squirrels and saying hi to my neighborhood friends from this wonderful porch and countless trips to the nearby dog parks. There’s a few things I wanted to share about this cute “barkalow” of mine for the next owner, in case they happen to be buying a house for their dog too!
-
Some days, I feel too fancy to hang out in the rain for walks or dog park visits. When my humans rebuilt the back deck, they added an additional set of stairs so that I could easily access the side yard. They laid down pea gravel (or as I like to call it “pee gravel”) so that I would have a clean, easy-to-maintain surface to do my business. My humans like that it discourages digging and prevents me from tracking mud inside the house.
-
Just North of Killingsworth is Fernhill Park, which has a 4-acre off-leash area. It’s a popular spot with local dog owners and great place to play fetch, take a walk on the walkways, or just relax on the gassy lawn. Wilshire Park is just a few blocks south and also has an off-leash dog park. For extra quick trips, I enjoyed playing with friends at the former schoolyard just at the corner of Alberta and Cesar E Chavez. My humans often made friends with other park frequenters who had similar schedules, and even joined a soccer team with some of them!
-
The porch was my favorite place to bask to in the sunshine and watch the world go by. Pro tip—I had many friends up and down the street and always liked to strategically plan my porch lounging around the perfect treat schedule. One of my favorite past times was to would watch the squirrels run down the fence to the back yard, where I would race down the hallway inside to rendevous out back.
-
Our routine was to head over to the soccer fields morning and evening and run around until I couldn’t run anymore. I know all of the dogs and their friendly owners
“It truly became a community for us all! We had doggy dates, met pet sitters, joined soccer teams, and exchanged home grown fruits with dog owners, all because we cherished these amazing four legged animals!”

Charm + Modern Functionality
Despite its charming presence with craftsman detailing, this home is a contemporary build designed for today’s lifestyle and buildings codes. Living in a house built for today’s lifestyle offers a special kind of luxury that’s a rare find in inner east side Portland. The cherry on top—this home achieves it without sacrificing character.
-
High Ceilings
With soaring 9-ft ceilings on the main level, every room feels spacious and light-filled. Homes built prior to the widespread use of central heating and insulation had lower ceilings and smaller rooms so heat generated by a fireplace could be contained more effectively.
-
Energy Efficient
The structure is a 2×6 construction rather than 2×4, which means thicker wall cavities for thicker insulation. Many older homes lack exterior wall insulation entirely, allowing this one to save greater amount of energy during cold winter nd sweltering summer days.
-
Modern HVAC & Plumbing
While most craftsman bungalows were built as single level homes that later converted the attic space, this home was designed and built as a two level living space from the get-go. This means that ductwork was planned effectively to transport air throughout the entire home—so no need to install mini-splits to supplement insufficient airflow over on hot days.
-
Large Closets
While living a minimalist life sounds appealing, the reality is that people today have a lot of STUFF and rotating between the same three outfits is no longer socially acceptable like it was in 1920. The bedrooms have generous closets,. The other bedrooms also have spacious closets and there is a large storage space under the stairs in the lower level. The sellers also added closets around the perimeter of the attached garage.
-
Ensuite Baths
Once upon a time, indoor plumbing and bathrooms were considered a luxury. Adding them later was expensive and complex, leading to a single bathroom added in less ideal locations. This home was designed with TWO ensuite baths with dual entrances for common access. Now THAT’S luxury!
Secondary Living Quarters Potential
With a fully finished lower level and a highly versatile floor plan, this property offers incredible value in it’s potential for multi-generational living or to be converted to an income-producing unit*.
-
Private Side Entrance
The exterior entrance on the North side of the house has the potential to be partitioned off from the main level to create dedicated lower level access.
-
Bed + Full Bath on Lower Level
A bedroom and ensuite bath w/dual hallway access make this an ideal setup for a secondary unit.
-
Partially Finished Attached Garage
Great for storage or a workshop in it’s current form, but brimming with potential to be fully finished out and converted to additional living space with exterior access to become an extension of the lower level or a 4th bedroom.
-
Bonus Room On Lower Level
A flexible bonus space shares a wall with the existing bathroom, making a convenient setup to add a kitchenette.

Stylish Updates Throughout
The sellers have lovingly maintained and improved this home over the course of their time of ownership. Nearly every space in the house been updated in both form and function. Let’s take a look at a few of the highlights…
Revamped Kitchen & Baths
Quartz counters, large undermount sinks, pull down faucet, and elegant brushed brass fixtures and hardware. The gas range and dishwasher were also replaced with stainless steel appliances.
“In 2020 we completely landscaped the front and back yards. We wanted a low mainetence but beautiful yard to tend to and enjoy. We hosted many family bbq's in the back yard, as well as many charcuterie and wine nights in the summer with friends. The privacy of the back yard was one of my favorite things about hosting.”
Exterior Overhaul
Low-maintenance landscaping, underground irrigation system, patio pavers, new deck, dog potty run, concrete pathway, and back fence.
“We called our back yard the tiny secret garden, it really felt like another room in the house…we spent so much time outside in the backyard [during the pandemic], in gratitude for having this little space to call ours."
Updated Baths
Quartz vanity top w/undermount sink (main), resurfaced cabinetry, new vanity (lower), and elegant brushed brass light fixtures and hardware.
