Work is underway on a new single-family residence at 817 NE 94th Avenue. The four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home offers 1,355 square feet of living space spanning two floors. The upper level extends over the full-width front porch in an architectural nod to the Craftsman homes seen through this area. This infill development replaces a detached garage and large tree that was part of the 1927-era house at 825 NE 94th Avenue until 2023.
The main floor features a bonus room up front with a full closet, allowing it to act as an office or additional ground-level bedroom. A powered room sits under the staircase leading up to the second level. Designers placed an “L” shaped Kitchen in the center of the house with a large breakfast island separating the space from the combined great room and dining room that occupy the entire rear of the building.
On the second level, the main bedroom extends slightly over the front porch and has a full attached bathroom and walk-in closet. A front-facing window provides natural light into the spacious closet. Two standard-sized bedrooms at the back of the house share a full-sized bathroom. A stacked laundry closet and utility room sit at the center of the upper floor.
This housing project is another home created by DEZ Development, which is wrapping up work on Three Affordable Townhomes a few blocks away on NE 92nd Avenue. Per the current Portland building code, which prohibits attached garages on a street-facing facade less than 22 feet long, this home does not feature on-site vehicle storage. However, removing the previous curb cut and restoring the sidewalk’s edge will allow more curbside parking. People should expect to see construction continue at this site through summer.
