5102 N Syracuse St

3rd floor bedroom in a large, historic North Portland home with a calm, adult atmosphere. This room is ideal for a grad student or young professional who wants a quiet place to land near the University of Portland, rather than a party house. The "chimney room" is a cozy 3rd floor bedroom with original shiplap siding and brick accents. It has its own minisplit for heating and air conditioning, so you can control the temperature in your personal space. The home is older and not fully insulated, so you will still notice some seasonal warmth in summer and coolness in winter. This room is reserved for one person only. Fully furnished common space on the first floor includes a large kitchen with essential cookware, dishes, and utensils, a dining area, two furnished living rooms, in house laundry, and one full bathroom. The second floor has additional bedrooms, office space, and a second full bathroom with a separate shower and original claw foot tub. The 3rd floor bedrooms use these full bathrooms on the lower levels and have the added convenience of a half bath on the 3rd floor. The bedrooms themselves are unfurnished, so you can bring your own bed and furniture to set up the space the way you like. The house sits in North Portland's University Park/Portsmouth area, a residential neighborhood near the University of Portland with tree lined streets, nearby parks, and local restaurants and coffee shops along Lombard Street. It's an especially good fit for people who spend time at UP or work nearby and want walkable access to campus area amenities without living in an apartment complex. An on site owner lives in the home and has a friendly dog who shares the common areas. Tenants are not allowed to have their own pets, so you should be comfortable living with a dog but not expect to bring additional animals into the home. You'll be sharing the home with other respectful adults, often grad students from the University of Portland and early career professionals. The household values cleanliness, reasonable quiet hours, and straightforward but respectful communication. This is not a party house and tends to work best for people who are focused on school or work and want a comfortable, stable home base.
