2347 NE 8TH AVE

Built in 1911 & lovingly maintained, this 3,200 sq ft Irvington Craftsman sits on a quiet street in one of Portland's most storied & historic neighborhoods. This 5 bedroom & 2.5 bath home maintains its original craftsman charm with fir molding, tall ceilings, and large wood windows. The updated kitchen is truly the heart of the home featuring a sub zero refrigerator, wolf gas range & a breakfast bar w/ a stunning raw edge maple countertop in a kitchen that offers plenty of room to entertain. Additional upgrades include a 96% high-efficiency furnace, Rinnai tankless water heater, updated electrical panel, all-new copper plumbing, a new sewer line, & a fresh interior and exterior paint job. The sprawling attic primary suite boasts hickory floors, abundant natural light, vaulted ceilings w/ skylights, a full bath w/ shower, and a west-facing deck w/ sweeping city and sunset views. The second floor has four bedrooms and a full bath with an original clawfoot tub & shower. The main floor presents a large living room, formal dining room, upgraded kitchen, half bath, and a small bonus room, recently used as a photography darkroom, but ready for whatever you may dream up. The basement includes a workshop, laundry, pantry, and a large wine cellar. The detached garage includes a finished loft with a wood stove that offers lots of possibilities. The real show-stopper is the private sauna & bathhouse situated in an elegant low maintenance yard: the 8 x 7 sauna has room for friends & opens up to an outdoor soaking tub & shower. This blissful and Zen-like atmosphere almost makes you forget you're three minutes from some of the best restaurants and coffee shops in the city. Irvington is the kind of place where neighbors actually know each other — the block parties are real, the community is tight, and the streets are lined with trees that have been around almost as long as the house itself.
