Originally built in 1923, this incredible Grant Park bungalow stands a century later as one of the best renovations in northeast Portland. We rarely see a home so thoughtfully rebuilt with such loving attention to detail and a spacious main-level floor plan and primary suite. As you approach the home, you will see multiple cascading hip roof gables that extend generously beyond the home’s footprint to create its trademark Prairie-style soffits. The soffits feature tongue and groove cedar paneling and a continuous soffit vent. New cedar siding with an alternating reveal complements the remarkable soffit details and reflects the same finishes found in Portland’s most noteworthy Craftsman homes. Stunning new clad-wood windows and custom wood doors round out the completely redesigned envelope. As you enter the front door, you find yourself in the foyer, which is graced by a stunning, back-lit stained-glass window designed and created by the homeowner. The foyer opens directly into the living room, which includes a natural gas fireplace with a fir mantel and built-in bookcases. The extensive renovation, completed in 2011, touched every part of the home. It introduced incredible clear vertical grain fir millwork and smooth-coat drywall in every room, while expanding the wall openings in the formal spaces and kitchen to allow space for gracious entertaining and daily living. The expansive kitchen features granite counters, Rejuvenation lighting and custom fir cabinets with ample storage and clever functional details. Oak hardwood floors extend throughout the main floor. Rounding out the almost 1600 square foot main floor is its north wing, which like the kitchen and formal spaces, has been completely reinvented. In the northwest corner, a large bedroom sits adjacent to the first of two full bathrooms on the main floor. The first bathroom features Pratt and Larson tile, custom cabinetry, and a rare main floor washer/dryer with space for folding and hang-drying clothes. The second bathroom, with two sinks and generous storage, is part of an incredible main level primary suite addition that features vaulted ceilings, multiple egress patterns to the backyard deck through custom doors and a large walk-in closet. The creation of this rare and coveted main level primary suite sets this home apart. Downstairs, you will find a large family room that reflects the same high-end finishes found on the main level. Newly finished concrete floors, smooth coat sheetrock and the home's trademark clear vertical grain fir millwork create a space perfect for all seasons. A third bedroom and third bathroom sit adjacent to the family room. In addition to those finished spaces, the lower level includes a generously sized southeast room and utility area perfect for hobbies and storage. Updated mechanicals, plumbing and electrical add further value to this extensive renovation. Outside, a peaceful, private backyard awaits. Trex decking and a paver patio provide elegant utility and the opportunity to create different outdoor spaces to entertain, take in a good book, or enjoy the restful sound of the custom basalt fountain. The completely rebuilt garage features the same wood clad windows and custom cedar siding on the home. Inside, you will find a vaulted ceiling, exposed wood beams and an amazing, newly refurbished swim spa. A beautiful, fogged glass carriage door provides ample additional light and privacy. Beyond these incredible amenities and stunning finishes, the grounds include established native trees and shrubs and a classic two-tier dry stack stone wall in the front yard. With an address located just blocks to the Hollywood business district and within the sought after Beverly Cleary and Grant High School catchment area, you don’t want to miss this noteworthy home.
