N Webster Rehabilitation (2004)

This 1925 bungalow in Portland’s Humboldt Neighborhood received a complete rehabilitation.  The derelict garage was demolished in the rehabilitation, leaving the concrete pad as a patio in the newly-fenced yard.

Some of the improvements to the two-bedroom, one-bath home focused on comfort and energy-efficiency: a new roof, new blown-in insulation and a new high-efficiency gas water heater.  Other improvements focused on livability: an updated floorplan for the 1,020 square-foot home provided larger closets as well as a more functional kitchen with new cabinetry.  Fresh paint inside and out as well as refinished hardwood floors featured low-VOC finishes.
