Property Description

Grand, voluminous and distinctly Portland, this classic Four Square blends historic detail with intentional living—ideal for design lovers, creatives, and anyone chasing that inner-SE magic.Step past the elephantine foot of a 120-year-old monkey puzzle tree and into a gracious foyer framed in original millwork, hardwood floors, pocket doors, period hardware and beveled glass. Note the double staircase and formal dining room—subtle nods to the home’s historic grandeur—while the extensively remodeled kitchen, anchored by a dramatic southern wall of windows, serves as the luminous heart of the modern house. It’s a culinary workspace and social hub in one, equally suited to slow Sunday cooking or standing-room-only dinner parties.Upstairs, four generous bedrooms offer maximum flexibility: roommates, guest quarters, studio, office, nursery? TBD as life evolves. The primary bedroom includes a fully enclosed south-facing sunporch, an urban conservatory for plant lovers and light chasers or private retreat.On the third floor, an open-plan loft with its own bath and balcony is a creative aerie—art studio, music room, writing den or yoga space with twinkling views of OHSU and the south waterfront.The finished basement adds utility and potential: separate entrance, kitchenette, full bath and tons of options. Think ADU, guest suite or maker space.Behind the charm, systems are dialed in: new HVAC, tankless water heater and updated infrastructure for comfort and efficiency. Outside, the fully fenced yard is ready for dogs, bikes, raised beds and lantern-lit evenings with friends.Perfectly situated between Belmont and Hawthorne and steps from Colonel Summers Park—the de facto commons of sunny-day Portland—you’ll be immersed in cafés, craft cocktails, food carts, vintage and endlessly bikeable streets. This is quintessential Portland living: historic bones, curated updates, abundant light and a vibrant neighborhood ecosystem as backdrop to a creative life.
