Originally built in 1911, this incredible craftsman home stands tall over a century later on one of Concordia's most sought after blocks. As you approach the home you will notice its incredible east elevation which features a stunning gable accented by a massive barge rafter, stout knee braces and a tongue and groove eave. The envelope is among the most beautiful you will see and includes scalloped shake siding in the upper gable along with a dimensional belly band and a series of corbels standing in soldier format just below. Lap siding alternates between a 6 plus inch reveal and a 2 plus inch reveal around the main floor which is sheltered below a stately porch on the east elevation and deep eaves with custom rafter tails on the north and south.
Stepping up upon the broad shouldered porch you can't help but recognize the passion and detail that went into the home. A tongue and groove clad porch leads you inside where you find the same craftsmanship on the exterior evident at almost every turn.
To your left you will find the first of three bedrooms and to your right the home's living room. The bedroom is highlighted by grand pocket doors and incredible divided light windows, while the living room boasts a gas fireplace and incredible leaded glass built-ins that bookend it. Box beam ceilings, oak hardwoods and a period perfect pendant round out the space which leads you seamlessly into the home's incredible dining room. Box beam ceilings, an amazing built-in hutch, incredible stain grade millwork and a Nelson Bubble Light highlight the gracious space. To the south you find the main floor hallway leading you to a second bedroom, the main floor bathroom and picture perfect sitting room. To the north you enter into the amazing remodeled kitchen where almost every surface has been reinvented. Quartz counters sit atop beautiful slab cabinetry, while a beautiful light blue tiled backsplash reflects the rich blue walls of the adjacent sitting room whose refurbished wainscotting detail pays homage to the home's past. With over 1300 square feet the main floor footprint reflects the architectural grandeur of the home's four elevations.
Moving upstairs you will find a completely remodeled primary suite comprising over 600 square feet. Its spa-like finish palette includes stunning colors, bamboo flooring, multiple skylights, slab cabinet built-ins, an elevated meditation space and the same refurbished wood used in the nook at the east headboard. A gorgeous bathroom rounds out this floor where the custom shower design allows a direct view into the clouds or stars above.
With over 2000 square feet of finished space the main and second floors are reinforced by another 1000 plus square feet in the basement. Among the most gracious below grade footprints you will see, this home's basement gives the next stewards an opportunity to grow this home's already amazing utility further. It isn't hard to imagine a third bathroom, media room and guest quarters which could easily accompany the space. With over 3000 square feet, this grand craftsman also boasts stunning grounds. On three sides you will find a carefully planned landscape with beautiful native plantings eligible for Backyard Habitat Certification. The backyard is a private sanctuary sheltered on its south end by the home's detached garage and a deep driveway which affords the next owners off-street parking for multiple cars. At every turn this amazing century home reminds you how amazing the craftsman era was while offering an address just blocks to the Alberta Street shops that have made the Concordia neighborhood one of Portland's most sought after.
