Black and white line drawing of a two-story house with a pitched roof and a front porch, capturing the charm of Portland Oregon real estate. The house features multiple windows, a front staircase, and is surrounded by shrubs and a fence. The artist's signature graces the bottom right corner.
Originally built in 1910, this stunning craftsman home has been remodeled from top to bottom by one of northeast Portland's best renovators. As a follow up to his record breaking Beaumont projects, Ron Albano is back in Grant Park where he introduced one of his first renovations almost 20 years ago. As you approach the home you will take notice of the incredible craftsmanship that was a hallmark of the turn of the century. Massive corbels flank the deep soffits of the porch, running around all four elevations in unison, while also creating depth and architectural value on the home's trademark hip roofed dormer. Stepping onto the porch, you will notice a scale and depth that you rarely see in new builds today. Entering the expansive front door you are greeted by new oak hardwood floors, the home's original stairwell-side built-ins and a new powder room. The powder room is where you will first notice Albano's creative license. Designer wallpaper surrounds the large space with a clever alcove hosting the furniture style vanity with perfect sconce above. Moving into the living room, classic colors coupled with a new fireplace surround and incredible divided light windows showcase a perfect balance between old and new. The adjacent dining room has been improved to host a stunning Schoolhouse chandelier, two new French doors and a new, wider opening into the completely remodeled kitchen. Custom solid oak casing wraps the transition between the rooms and introduces you to the gorgeous oak slab cabinets Albano used alongside brilliant white quartz counters, a picture perfect barn style door to the pantry and the trademark Wolf range he always employs. Moving upstairs you will find three gracious bedrooms all boasting newly refinished fir floors, gorgeous white walls with Hushed Hue casing and an incredible, completely remodeled bathroom. Albano managed to recraft the dimensions of the bathroom to include a stunning custom tile-set shower, gorgeous freestanding tub and a custom double vanity you don't want to miss. In addition to the two stunning above grade floors is a 700 square foot finished basement with new polished concrete floors, gorgeous built-ins, a new, third full bathroom, family room and expansive fourth bedroom. Beyond these spaces Albano finished the tuck-under garage and created new storage spaces which are home to a new tankless water heater and furnace. Unlike many renovators, he introduced all new mechanicals, electrical and plumbing throughout the home, while also adding new central air conditioning. Beyond the showcase interiors, is a huge backyard, where Albano installed all new cedar fencing, a new lawn and a trex deck off the back of the home, which is perfectly elevated above the yard. With an address just blocks to the library, Whole Foods, countless Hollywood shops and two of Portland's most cherished schools, you don't want to miss this noteworthy renovation!
