3104 SE 26TH AVE

Built in 1906, this house sat vacant and in extreme disrepair for decades. Saved from squatters or demolition and lovingly restored DOWN TO THE STUDS, it’s ready for its next glorious chapter as the new crown jewel of the neighborhood. A Natural light delight with tall ceilings, large windows throughout with original, carefully restored wood-trim, and beautiful patina fir floors; each room holds a key to the past, blending the century-old charm with modern convenience. The bay window in the living room is the perfect spot for people watching. If you want to add a cozy fireplace, it's already plumbed for natural gas. The brand-new kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a chef-worthy gas stove with convection oven, and a unique hood made from wood reclaimed from the house itself. There are 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom on the main floor. Upstairs, the newly added dormer brings two additional large bedrooms with oak hardwood floors. One boasts dual deep closets, a sky light, and a barn door made from the original pocket doors in the house. The other can enjoy those beautiful western sunsets and a big walk in closet. There is also a luxurious bathroom with dual vanity sinks, a large walk-in shower, and that classic clawfoot tub inviting you to soak away the day. The home also boasts a 900 sqft unfinished basement with a private entrance, offering endless possibilities, or a potential ADU (buyer to verify). The front walkway was crafted from bricks recovered from the original chimney, adding even more historic character to this exceptional property. Modern upgrades include a 95+ efficient gas HVAC system, gas tankless hot water heater, and all new Energy Star appliances. Nestled on a corner lot in one of the most walkable neighborhoods in SE Portland, you're just moments away from Clinton Street, Division, Powell, 7 Corners New Seasons, Ladds Addition and more. This LABOR OF LOVE offers the best of old-Portland charm and urban living. [Home Energy Score = 4. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10232787]
