Built in 1913 by a master craftsman, the JJ Armstrong house stands today as a testament to the Arts and Crafts movement. As you approach the home you will swoon at the stunning east facing elevation. Few homes in Portland have the level of detail reflected in this home's envelope where corbels, stout batons, intricate banding and the perfect color palette highlight why Irvington is not just a historic community, but among the most cherished in all of Portland.
Stepping up to the front porch and through the main door you will immediately witness the same level of detail executed on the exterior on the interior. Incredible custom millwork surrounds the living room where a three tiered fireplace mantle, multi-layered crown moulding and an intricate stairwell showcase the incredible detail that went into this home over 100 years ago. Gorgeous oak hardwoods run underfoot while custom stained glass windows highlight almost every wall and run into the dining room where a custom hutch, dual window seats and stunning wainscoting highlight the space. Just off the dining room is a picture perfect office, sitting room or piano room with its own elevated china cabinet and custom window treatments. Anchoring the north end of the main floor is the perfect powder room and a remodeled eat-in kitchen with classic shaker cabinetry, a Viking range, gorgeous field tile and Schoolhouse lighting. Moving upstairs you will find three bedrooms and a stunning remodeled full bathroom complete with a claw foot tub, tile set shower and period details at every turn. The bedrooms each feature stain grade wood flooring, five panel doors, period lighting and noteworthy wood windows with gorgeous divided light patterns.
Heading back downstairs you will find a third finished floor in the basement where an expansive family room welcomes you. The family room moves seamlessly into the laundry area and towards the west end of the basement where a second full bathroom and bonus room reinforce the home's incredible utility. The same care and attention that has been paid to the preservation and updating of the home is reflected outside where stunning grounds surround the home and a back deck leads you to the incredible double garage. The garage was designed in congress with the home to ensure the same level of detail applied to the main dwelling was mimicked with the garage 103 years later. Standing proud among the grand dames of Irvington, this Northeast Portland jewel features a location just a block to the Irvington Club, five blocks to Broadway shops and equidistant from Irving and Grant Park. Put simply, you don't want to miss this opportunity to own a piece of history!
