The Story
5936 North Burrage Avenue
This Overlook charmer went up during the 1920's building boom, back when the streetcar was still rattling through the neighborhood + orchards were giving way to bungalows like this. It’s kept all its best features from that era: fir hardwoods, classic millwork + built-ins w/ a mirrored backsplash, while also being welcomed into a new age w/ fresh interior paint, updated lighting, remodeled bathrooms + a refreshed kitchen. The living + dining rooms are warmed by sunshine thanks to corner-lot exposure + picture windows pulling in light from every direction. The kitchen has that same golden, buttery glow, with butcher block counters + warm-toned cabinetry w/ brass hardware . Updated bathrooms nod to the home’s original era w/ classic finishes + a clawfoot tub. The roomy primary suite features double closets + its own half bath, while the second main-level bedroom has darling built-in bookshelves. Upstairs, the third bedroom offers another set of double closets (you are not wanting for storage in this house!) + an adjacent bonus den is the perfect flex space for an office, playroom, dressing room or cozy reading nook. The unfinished basement is doing honest work for now (storage, laundry + workshop space) w/ the opportunity to finish it out later + further expand your living space. And here’s what your agent really loves to hear: new sewer line, new water line, whole-house replumb, new hybrid water heater, double-pane vinyl windows, fresh exterior paint + gutters. All the unglamorous, spendy stuff is done! Out back, the yard is built for enjoyment, not upkeep, w/ native, drought-tolerant plants, crushed-gravel paths, a fire pit, rain barrels + a new cedar fence. There’s off-street parking for 1 car, though the best of NoPo is just blocks from your front door: coffee shops, food carts, pubs + shopping along Greeley + Killingsworth, plus nearby parks + transit, Adidas Headquarters + golden-hour sunsets on Skidmore Bluffs. This is a house you don't want to Overlook! [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10242242]
