ABOUT THE HOME

A home that listens, a lot that breathes. Commanding a rare 0.22-acre parcel nestled in the heart of the Buckman neighborhood, this impressive 1909 Craftsman offers a timeless blend of old-world grandeur and refined modern updates. Meticulously preserved and thoughtfully enhanced, the home showcases exquisite original details, including hardwood floors, coved and boxed-beam ceilings, classic pocket doors, and intricate millwork, creating a private and sophisticated retreat within a celebrated urban enclave.

A gracious foyer opens to the formal living room through a grand cased opening, where a fireplace flanked by original built-ins creates a stunning focal point. The living room leads to a wainscoted dining room with an inviting music nook. The reimagined kitchen features new slab granite counters, high-end stainless steel appliances, tile flooring and backsplash, a center island, and a walk-in pantry. A well-placed half bath and seamless access to the deck complete this entertainer’s level.

Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite includes a serene sitting area, private balcony, and spa-like bath with double vanity, walk-in shower, and custom tile and glass finishes. Two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets share a hall bath with a classic clawfoot tub and pedestal sink. The top floor offers a spacious family room with a balcony and a flexible fourth bedroom or home office.

The lower level provides two bonus rooms, laundry, ample storage, and garage access. Outside, the professionally landscaped yard is a tranquil oasis with a deck, stone patio, gravel paths, and a tool shed, all enveloped by mature plantings.

This residence combines enduring architectural beauty with thoughtful updates, including a newly installed high-efficiency HVAC system, in one of Portland’s most coveted neighborhoods. Fun fact: This home was once owned by Isaac Brock, the iconic frontman and creative force behind cult-favorite band Modest Mouse.
