Property Description
In 1914, less than a decade after the Lewis & Clark Exposition reshaped Portland’s ambitions & accelerated growth across the east side, Hawthorne had become one of the city’s most desirable streetcar-era neighborhoods. Lined with sturdy new Craftsman homes, corner shops, & tree-filled streets, it offered something still sought after today: a connected life with character at every turn. At 1842 SE 42nd Ave that legacy remains beautifully intact. This classic Craftsman bungalow with a coveted front porch is made for slow mornings. Inside, original built-ins, pristine woodwork, recently refinished original oak hardwood floors, & a stunning lead glass window speak to the craftsmanship of another era, while the proportions and flow feel timeless. The living room is centered around a tiled gas fireplace flanked by period built-ins that continue through to the spacious dining area. The crisp, bright kitchen opens to the back deck & has been updated to include high end stainless appliances such as a Samsung refrigerator and 6-burner Viking range. Upstairs, the light filled primary bedroom & 2nd bedroom have oversized closets, & the expansive spa-like bathroom offers a welcome sense of retreat - vaulted ceilings, skylights, & an oversized tiled shower with double heads. A washer & dryer, conveniently located on the upper level are neatly tucked into a closet. An additional 3rd bedroom on the main level with an ensuite bathroom provides privacy & flexibility for guests. The tidy full basement, currently set up as a workshop, creates space for projects, storage, or future possibilities. A Port Orford cedar deck extends the living space & the fully fenced, pretty, low maintenance yard provides a delightful space to relax and entertain. A storage shed adds everyday utility. 100 Bike Score, 96 Walk Score, & some of Portland’s best daily rituals just outside the door. [Home Energy Score = 5.
