The Story
1801 Northeast 65th Avenue
Original where it counts. Modern where it matters. This fully renovated 4 bedroom, 2 bath home finds that rare balance between original character and thoughtful modern living. The original hardwood floors still steal the show, vintage glass doorknobs remain as a nod to the home's history, and nearly every other surface has been carefully refreshed to create a space that feels both timeless and new. The kitchen doesn't just look good, it works beautifully, with quartz countertops, an induction range, Bosch dishwasher, and clean, classic finishes designed to age gracefully. The certified wood stove is ready for rainy Portland evenings, while the new high efficiency A/C keeps things comfortable when summer flares up. The updates continue where they matter most: a brand new sewer line, copper plumbing, a new 30 year algae resistant roof, fresh paint inside and out, and improvements that extend well beyond what meets the eye. Out back, composite decking sets the stage for summer dinners, slow mornings with coffee, or evenings under the string lights. Mature pear and cherry trees provide seasonal blossoms and fresh fruit, while the attached garage adds everyday convenience. A thoughtful blend of original wood and updated double pane windows preserves the home's character while enhancing comfort. Then there's Rose City Park, one of Northeast Portland's most beloved neighborhoods known for wide, tree lined streets, beautiful homes, neighborhood cafés, and parks. Beautifully restored, thoughtfully updated, and full of authentic character, this is the kind of home that feels just as good as it looks. [Home Energy Score = 6.
