3405 NE 46TH AVE

Welcome to 3405 NE 46th Avenue. This charming 1920s bungalow sits comfortably back from a tree-lined sidewalk, along a classic Northeast Portland block filled with similarly character rich properties, yet is just steps from the shops, restaurants and everyday conveniences of nearby Fremont Street. When people say that real estate is about “location, location, location,” they could be referencing a place like this. Set within Beaumont-Wilshire, alongside the coveted Alameda neighborhood, the house enjoys easy proximity to highly regarded schools, beautiful parks, neighborhood favorites, and the heart of the city. It's an enviable combination that has long made this pocket of NE Portland one of our area’s most sought-after places to live. Inside, 1,000+ square feet of finished living space makes this an intimate home with a generous heart. Two bedrooms and one bath are joined by an open living room and dining area, while another 500+ square feet of dry, unfinished basement space provides valuable room for storage and utility. Importantly, this is a home that has been thoughtfully maintained. Many of its major components — including the roof, furnace, sewer line, exterior paint and major appliances — have been updated within the past decade, allowing its vintage character to remain intact, without ignoring the practical side of homeownership. Period appropriate details include hardwood floors and a handsome brick fireplace flanked by built-in cabinetry; a warm architectural centerpiece that gives the living room much of its personality. For anyone coveting additional parking, creative shop space, or just a bit more storage room, the detached garage (constructed in 2001) will be a welcome addition. Out back, a fully fenced yard creates a semi-private retreat with established landscaping and automated irrigation. An elevated wood deck extends the living space outdoors, with plenty of room for gardening, entertaining, or dining al fresco. Simply put, a delightful home! [Home Energy Score = 6.
