This proud and stately 1915 “Laurelhurst Century Home” anchors this coveted historic neighborhood’s West entrance and sets a high bar for the hood. Perfectly preserved and proportioned architecture, impeccably updated and maintained, this Old Portland Foursquare with extensive craftsman details has recent updates both in and out that create a super cozy and comfortable modern living experience. A flexible floorplan with sleeping and laundry up, living, formal dining and kitchen on the main, an adaptable lower level with ADU possibilities, separate entrance and 4th bedroom (currently non-conforming), provides plenty of room for spreading out and everyones needs. The re-envisioned and renovated lush backyard landscape creates a living compound that takes advantage of the summertime and provides entertainment fun or peaceful respite outdoors.
Handsome original architectural details include impressive stonework pillars out front that shore up the the generous and roomy front porch and sun room cubby, repetitive vertical sash windows wrap the house on both levels and bathe the interiors with soft warm light and beautifully frame in the views outside, hefty craftsman built-ins, moldings and millwork throughout, including box beams in the dining room, hardwood floors, high ceilings and generous sized rooms.
Period-sensitive and tasteful modern recent updates by the current and previous owners, both in an out, put the bow on top. New Schoolhouse & Rejuvenation lighting throughout, custom new maple built-ins on 2 levels along with former kitchen updates and added new 36” Wolf gas range compliment the original architecture & craftsman carpentry and provide a welcome modern infusion. Recent period perfect 2nd floor bathroom & laundry updates look original and require a second take. New hefty fir custom front and back screen porch doors add a richness to the entries. New dual paned Marvin Windows with custom screens throughout the main and 2nd floors keep it warm and cozy in the winter, while the new Daikin AC keeps things cool in the summer.
Outside the yard has been transformed by Drakes 7 Dees – with newly designed hardscaping, landscaping and irrigation. In back, the landscaping is lighted to extend the evenings, while raised beds provide garden fresh meals and the existing flexible workshop-playfort-storage shed combo keeps everyone busy and their toys stored. The new Chargepoint charger keeps the EV moving.
Conveniently located city center living and close to everything and with easy access to mass transit, downtown, airport, Hollywood District (MAX/Whole Foods/Trader Joes). Walkable to Restaurant Row on 28th, Laurelhurst – Market, Theater and Park, Migration Brewing, Providore Fine Foods and much more! This one is ready to go and probably will do so fast!
