Property Description

Timeless elegance meets modern sophistication in this quintessential Portland foursquare, set in one of the city's most coveted, established neighborhoods. A covered front porch welcomes you home, while original wood floors, custom built-ins in the living and dining rooms, and an updated gas fireplace speak to enduring craftsmanship and warmth. Charming window seats grace the front bedrooms, and a striking new Marmoleum kitchen floor pairs with French doors opening to the deck for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The versatile fourth upper-level bedroom — ideal as an office, nursery, or walk-in closet — is plumbed for a washer and dryer, while a spacious unfinished attic with impressive headroom offers exciting potential for future development. A standout brand-new separate living quarters (2026) with kitchenette, bedroom, full bath, living area and laundry is perfect for multigenerational living, guests, or income potential. Outside, entertain on the expansive Trex deck (2022) amid low-maintenance landscaping, anchored by a rare detached Finnish sauna, plus a convenient 2-car tuck-under garage. Meticulous updates ensure lasting value: radon mitigation (2020), new main water line with 1" PEX, surge-protected electric panel (2021), new sump pump and linear garage drain (2022), and whole-home hardwired WiFi. Beyond the front door, enjoy a neighborhood defined by connection — blocks from shops, cafes, the library, and top-rated schools, with Friday night lights at Grant High School, a community pool, dog park, and garden nearby, plus easy access to major transportation. This is more than a home — it's a rare offering of craftsmanship, character, and community that cannot be replicated. [Home Energy Score = 1.
