Before & After: The Newberg Bungalow

by Laura on May 23, 2019

in Interior Design, The Newberg Bungalow

Here are the before & after photos and some details on the most recent renovation we completed, the Newberg Bungalow. The Bungalow was the last home we purchased and sits next door to our Cottage, just one block from downtown Newberg’s main street.

After buying the cottage and starting the renovation, we discovered that we wouldn’t be able to rent it out as it didn’t have off-street parking. While we pondered selling it (after the renovation, we wouldn’t be able to rent it long-term and break even) the adorable bungalow next door went up for sale. With just enough lawn area between them to add a driveway, purchasing and renovating it seemed like the right thing to do. It was a win-win for both us and the community: we’d be bringing these two homes up-to-date and fixing some serious problems, improving the curb appeal, and providing sorely needed parking in the neighborhood.

before…

Built in 1927, it was a total charmer but in need of a ton of TLC. We had put an offer in sight unseen, and were a bit devastated when we were finally able to get out to tour in person: the upstairs “master bedroom” was actually an attic, with a 6’ ceiling only at the peak. It wasn’t legal or liveable, and definitely would need a lot of work to become an upscale rental accommodation.

After much deliberation, we decided to go all-in and lift the roof, restructure the whole second floor, and create a true master suite. We also had to completely renovate the rest of the home, adding central air conditioning, all new plumbing and electric, new kitchen, new downstairs bathroom, and all new finishes throughout. We kept as much original charm as we could – the original fir floors, the built-ins in the living room, the cozy little dining nook in the living room – while making every inch of the home functional for a modern lifestyle.

It’s our belief that having this level of comfort within walking distance of everything downtown Newberg has to offer made the extensive renovation work worth it – and, so far, our guests have agreed!

the power of creative inspiration

We believe that growth happens not in epic turning points, but in small moments: a chance meeting, a breathtaking view, an honestly told story over a glass of wine that makes you see something in a way you never have before.

If you're looking to visit the valley this spring or summer, I'd suggest booking soon to secure your top choices. As we're all betting on a return to reality (oh pretty please), and pent-up demand is real, we'll be seeing places book up much more quickly than usual. Can't wait to welcome everyone back to Oregon's wine country... and this perfect little spot around the firepit at #viewandvinepark⁠

New year, new hope, new dreams coming true ✨ Hap New year, new hope, new dreams coming true ✨ Happy New Year from our little slice of a wish made reality. We've named it Trio Vineyard, inspired both by our little trio of a family and the way we've always thought of wine: an expression of people, place and time in a bottle.
.
From the first time we saw this property, we knew we needed to do a little clearing on the southern side: firs planted by the original owner had grown to dominate the view, and prevented us from properly fencing off that side. When we began the work in October, it turned out three of the larger trees were actually on the neighboring property (seeded from the ones on ours) and had to remain. So, Trio it is. 🥂 Big things to follow, more on that soon!
