This is the ONE! Dialed to an 11 this house is a dream to show. Framed by a full front porch complete with porch swing, this incredibly special craftsman home blends a renovated old Portland house-hug with a gob-smacking upstairs primary suite. The owners have spent the last 12 years renovating this distinctive craftsman into a true work of art while enhancing and keeping the original craftsman details intact like wood floors and built-ins .
French doors in the foyer open to the main floors spacious living room with a leaded glass window nook, built-ins and gas fireplace. The kitchen is a sunny vintage delight with old school yellow subway tile backsplash and hex tile counters that connects to the light filled dining room with 2 back doors. The lush backyard is filled with intentional and intimate spaces, native and mature plantings, beautiful hardscaping, and a chicken playground. The two main floor bedrooms are roomy with huge windows including a built in window seat facing west in the front bedroom. The entire main floor has 9′ ceilings adding to the homes sense of airiness.
An unassuming door off the hallway opens to a whimsical staircase with each stair step a slow reveal to a magical primary suite. Be inspired by the soaring 13′ vaulted ceilings, windows that frame lovely views on four sides, an artful spot for a bed, sitting area, office nook with city views, coffee station, spacious closets and hidden areas all executed with a flair of creative genius in unexpected places. With heated tile floors, a skylight, soaking tub, and gorgeous glass shower, the ensuite bathroom is a slice of heaven. Once upstairs you may never want to leave.
The nearly 1200sf basement has 7′ ceilings and exterior entries on the front and back of the house, with the front of the hosue door opening to an off street parking spot/driveway making it a perfect set-up for a future ADU. There is also a detached garage with wiring for more storage or parking a car. The house has thoughtful upgrades with energy efficiency in mind and all systems and mechanics- electrical, plumbing, sewer, 2 tankless water heaters, HVAC, decommissioned oil tank, newer roof, interior and exterior paint and and a solid foundation bolted to the house means all the heavy lifting is done. Located just a block away from hot spots on Gladstone to the north and Grout Elementary and Kenilworth park to the south and a few skips to Trader Joe’s to the east this incredible house is peerless.
