Architect-Restored 1923 Craftsman Bungalow with 3 Flexible Bonus Spaces Rental

Situated on a unique 130-degree corner lot without through-traffic, this home offers exceptional natural light, quiet privacy, and an architectural design that is elegant in its simplicity. With a Bike Score of 98, it is ideally located in Sunnyside just four blocks from Laurelhurst Park and the vibrant dining along Belmont and Stark. Don’t be misled by the one-bedroom designation. Originally built in 1923, the bungalow underwent a two-year historical restoration led by architect Derek Trost and finish carpenter Dan Little. The house was structurally raised two feet to create a light-filled, full-height lower level featuring three flexible bonus spaces—one with a mirrored wall ideal for movement, dance, or yoga, and two ideal for a dedicated home office, creative studio, or media room. The main floor features restored Douglas Fir floors and custom built-ins crafted from solid fir reclaimed from a local Portland school. Period Schoolhouse Electric lighting with smart dimmers and original wood windows with historic wavy glass cast beautiful evening light, updated with cordless, light-filtering cellular shades. Designed with European efficiency in mind, the kitchen pairs custom cabinetry with solid granite around the sink, warm maple butcher-block prep surfaces, a brand-new, sleek 20-inch induction range with electric oven, and an under-counter Multipure water filtration system. The main bath is an artisan sanctuary featuring Pratt & Larson handmade tiles, a natural river-rock shower floor, a large cast-iron pedestal soaking tub, and double sinks over soapstone countertops. An on-demand tankless gas water heater ensures endless hot water. Comfort is built into every layer: quiet hydronic radiant floor heat warms both levels from the feet up, and the raised lower level naturally stays 10 degrees cooler than the main level during the summer months. The lower-level half-bath and laundry include a gas dryer, a deep farmhouse utility sink, and a chest freezer. Painted with Low-VOC finishes and maintained strictly with natural, non-toxic products throughout. Outside, architectural copper accents highlight the rooflines, gutters, and a handcrafted sunburst over the porch. A custom cedar fence with stained-glass triptychs frames a stone patio for outdoor dining and an organic woodland garden filled with red raspberries, alpine strawberries, and native plants for songbirds. A secure, double-door outbuilding provides dedicated vertical hanging space for three bicycles alongside a separate garden shed. Convenient street parking, proximity to transit options, and included monthly yard service round out this exceptional property.
