Originally built in 1941 this stunning English home sits perfectly above Myrtle Street, just off the grid with amazing views of the city below and the west hills ridgeline to the north. As you approach the home you are greeted by a two car garage and a storybook stairway that leads you up to the front door. Stepping into the home you immediately feel a sense of grandeur as the foyer leads your eyes towards the sunken office to the north and the expansive living room to the south. The office features divided light windows standing in soldier format, custom built-ins and a window seat perfect for whatever novel you desire. The living room has a balanced layout and simple elegance highlighted by stunning millwork, a stout fireplace and an English inspired stairwell that takes you upstairs or directly into the kitchen. Adjacent to the living room is the home's formal dining room which has beautiful French doors and the perfect flow pattern to both the kitchen or outside to the home's southeast facing patio. The gourmet kitchen anchors the home's main level and features an eat-in space, custom cabinetry and high end appliances fit for the most astute cook. French doors highlight the ideal flow pattern for the space allowing you to enter the backyard and take in dinner on the cedar deck or soak in the hot tub. Heading upstairs you find the highly sought after three bedroom, two bathroom configuration. Designer colors, oak hardwoods and period details round out each room perfectly. The owners' suite balances the east and south elevations and features period-perfect fixtures which include a clawfoot tub, stately tiled shower and dueling vanities. The views from the east facing bedrooms are compelling and highlight the incredible oversized lot this property stands upon. Heading back downstairs you find the home's lower level which comprises over one thousand square feet. An expansive family room anchors the east end of the floor, while a large mechanical room opens into a laundry area and storage space. A clever mudroom with built-in storage highlights the utilitarian features designed into the home which coupled with the underground stairwell from the garage reinforce how thoughtful the design of this home was relative to its special topography. Feeding into some of Portland's most sought after schools and boasting a location just minutes to downtown, this incredible, turn-key Portland Heights home is one you don't want to miss!
