Timeless American Foursquare With Historic Craftsmanship

A rare opportunity to own one of Portland’s classic American Foursquares, where original craftsmanship and stewardship have been honored for more than a century. Built in 1905, this five-bedroom, four-bath residence offers four thousand forty square feet of architectural character and an exceptional collection of original details. The sunny south-facing home features soaring ten-foot ceilings, three original wood-burning fireplaces, Italian fireplace tile, a gracious front entry, butler’s pantry, original fir woodwork, original wall sconces and pocket doors, and solid old-growth construction throughout. The current owners have preserved the home’s architectural integrity while making improvements, including wood-clad double-hung windows on the second and third floors, a high-efficiency ninety-six percent gas furnace (2022), roof replacement (2023), refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, and extensive restoration of original woodwork. Every improvement has respected the home’s historic character. Lovingly cared for as a family home for more than thirty years, it has been filled with laughter, celebrations, and everyday moments that have become part of its story. Outside, the mature landscaping features a magnificent wisteria believed to be nearly a century old, a beautiful magnolia tree, flagstone pathways, basalt stonework, and gardens created over many years. The expansive covered front porch is quintessential Portland while a custom rear wraparound porch extends the home’s outdoor living space. A fifty-five-foot driveway leads to the attached one-car garage which provides direct basement access—a unique feature rarely found in homes of this era. The sunny finished third floor provides flexible living space and Mount Hood views while the unfinished full basement features an exterior entrance abundant storage and tremendous potential for future expansion. This authentic Portland classic has evolved thoughtfully over the past one hundred twenty years and offers a rare opportunity to become its next steward. [Home Energy Score = 1.
