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.
