Tucked along a quiet street in Portland’s Roseway neighborhood, a classic 1940s bungalow blends enduring old-world charm with the expanded living spaces today’s buyers appreciate, set on a rare oversized backyard that reflects the generous lots long associated with Portland’s east side. Original hardwood floors extend across the main level, bringing warmth and character to light-filled living spaces where a gas fireplace anchors the living room. Thoughtful flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen allows everyday living and entertaining to unfold easily while preserving the craftsmanship and architectural detail that define Portland’s historic homes. Behind the home’s traditional bungalow façade, the interior reveals a surprisingly expansive feel. A well-considered floor plan extends living beyond the main level, including a private upper-level primary suite with generous walk-in closets and a spacious ensuite bath with heated tile floors—an uncommon luxury in homes of the era. The finished lower level further expands the home’s versatility with a large family room centered around a second fireplace and modern concrete floors, creating flexible space for movie nights, play, creative work, or guests. Abundant storage throughout the lower level and additional access potential create compelling ADU possibilities for future flexibility. Outside, the expansive fenced backyard offers room for gardening, outdoor dining, and gathering—an increasingly rare amenity in close-in Northeast Portland. Located in the heart of Roseway, the home sits near neighborhood cafés, parks, and Rose City Golf Course while remaining conveniently connected to downtown Portland, Portland International Airport, the Columbia River Gorge, and Mount Hood. Timeless character, unexpectedly generous living spaces, and a rare eastside lot come together in a home that captures the enduring spirit of Northeast Portland living. [Home Energy Score = 5.
