2023 NE HIGHLAND ST

Welcome to the Woodlawn Retreat, a classic Portland bungalow with a detached studio, tucked along a quiet, tree lined street. Set on a private, shaded lot, the home offers a calm and settled feel. Original character abounds, including a wood burning fireplace, built-ins, a dining nook with coved ceilings, and a bathroom with a mosaic tile floor. Hand painted details carry throughout the home, including the front porch and interior accents. The main level includes two bedrooms and one bath, while the lower level adds an additional bedroom and ensuite bath, along with flexible space for storage, projects, or day to day overflow. The kitchen has been thoughtfully refreshed with quartz countertops, updated cabinetry, and new flooring. In 2022, the oak and fir floors were refinished, and a majority of the windows were upgraded to a mix of Marvin wood windows and vinyl replacements. Additional improvements include PEX plumbing, tankless water heater, and a new electrical panel. Out back, the detached studio offers a versatile space with a bath, kitchenette, and sleeping loft, well suited for guests, work from home, or creative use. In the backyard, fresh sod, a paver patio, and a fire pit create a natural setting for gatherings. Thoughtful reuse is incorporated throughout the property, including a sliding bathroom door from Benson High School in the studio, a shelf above the kitchenette from a historic Albina building, and basement wall cladding sourced from an Alameda home. Located just steps from neighborhood favorites including Tough Luck & Lil’ Barbecue, Ranch Pizza, Tamale Boy, and Tiny Giants Brewing. Alberta Park, Woodlawn Park, and the Dekum Triangle are also just moments away. Bike Score 95! [Home Energy Score = 6. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10015563]
