Main Floor

Bathed in natural light and grounded by beautifully preserved hardwood floors, the home’s interior offers a sense of quiet refinement—fresh white walls create a clean, gallery-like backdrop, enhancing both architectural character and design possibility. In the dining room, a classic built-in china cabinet adds timeless charm and functional elegance, anchoring the space with a nod to the home’s enduring craftsmanship.

The floor plan unfolds with exceptional ease, creating a rare sense of flow from one room to the next. Just off the living room, a thoughtfully positioned bedroom offers flexibility for guests, office use, or main-level living, while maintaining seamless access to the back hall and adjacent bath. Beyond, an additional bedroom is privately situated, allowing for both connection and separation—an intuitive layout that balances openness with livability. Together, the home’s thoughtful design, clean aesthetic, and graceful transitions create an environment that feels both elevated and effortlessly functional.

Just beyond the dining room, the kitchen is ideally located to support both everyday function, offering direct access to the back door and driveway, as well as the lower basement level. This thoughtful connection between gathering spaces and utility creates a home that moves with ease—where daily living feels practical, cohesive, and beautifully considered. Together, the home’s graceful transitions, clean aesthetic, and enduring character create an environment that feels both inviting and exceptionally livable.

Additionally, the home offers a spacious attic accessed by convenient pull-down stairs, providing an expansive and easily accessible storage area rarely found in homes of this era. Open in scale and highly functional, the attic creates valuable flexibility for seasonal storage, archival organization, creative overflow, or future potential—further enhancing the home’s thoughtful balance of character and practicality.

Lower Level

The lower level extends the home’s versatility with a generous footprint designed to adapt to a variety of needs. Thoughtfully arranged, this level includes two non-conforming bedrooms—ideal for guest accommodations, creative studios, home offices, or flexible bonus spaces—offering valuable room to grow, work, or unwind.

A dedicated laundry area, complete with washer and dryer, adds everyday practicality, while the updated 200-amp electrical panel provides an important modern foundation for today’s living. Abundant built-in storage throughout enhances both form and function, creating rare organizational ease without sacrificing usable space. Whether envisioned as a flexible retreat, utility-forward extension, or future reimagining opportunity, the lower level offers substance, adaptability, and exceptional potential beneath the home’s timeless main floor.

Exterior Garden and yard

Outside, the property’s mature and understated landscaping creates a sense of effortless charm—thoughtfully simple, established, and in harmony with the home’s timeless character. A welcoming front porch offers a particularly special vantage point, inviting quiet mornings, evening conversations, or the simple pleasure of watching the western sky unfold while remaining connected to the rhythm of the neighborhood.

The fenced backyard extends the home’s livability with a balance of privacy and practicality, featuring a poured concrete patio well-suited for outdoor dining, gardening, or relaxed gathering. A detached garage adds flexibility for parking, storage, or creative use, while the shared driveway reflects the classic fabric of established Portland neighborhoods.
