Cozy artist's bungalow with outdoor sauna, steps from NW 23rd

This 1+ bedroom single-level bungalow with backyard sauna is recently renovated, filled with original art and period furnishings, and steps away from Portland’s beloved 23rd Ave. Stroll the quiet, tree-lined streets to the city’s best restaurants, shops, bars and coffee shops, or hop the trolley on the corner to quickly reach the Pearl District or downtown. The home includes includes a large gourmet kitchen, 6-person sauna, off-street parking, and a covered deck overlooking a resplendent cottage garden certified as a Backyard Bird Sanctuary.

The home features a large living room with a working fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows. There is a spacious master bedroom with walk-in closet and a light-filled office/den; it may be used as a spare bedroom at your option, and will accommodate a provided inflatable queen mattress.

There are two full bathrooms, one central and the other adjoining the master bedroom. A dedicated laundry room includes full-sized washer and dryer.

The large gourmet kitchen includes two sinks, a central island, and beautiful cherry wood countertops. An adjoining dining area overlooks the back yard.

The backyard, exclusively for your use, is a show stopper. A large covered deck patio set and Adirondack chairs overlooks a verdant cottage garden planted with native species, enjoying bird sanctuary certification.

A flagstone patio leads to the recently built large barrel sauna, perfect for taking away the chill after an evening spent exploring the endless walkable delights of NW 23rd, Slabtown, Nob Hill, Forest Park, and 21st’s Restaurant Row.

A well-insulated third-story unit, not part of the listing, has its own separate entrance. The deck, backyard, sauna, and parking are exclusively yours to use.
