1427 SE TAYLOR ST

Perched proudly above the street overlooking the Buckman neighborhood, this home offers a rare combination of scale, architectural integrity, and a crowd pleaser floor plan in one of Portland’s most desirable close-in locations. A welcoming front porch provides the perfect spot for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, and connecting w/ the neighborhood. Four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms upstairs, while a bedroom suite on the main level provides flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a dedicated work-from-home setup. Rooms throughout the home are generously sized and filled with natural light, creating comfortable and inspirational everyday spaces. Laundry is conveniently located on the main level. True Craftsman details remain beautifully preserved throughout, including wood floors, leaded glass, pocket doors, built-ins, high ceilings, period casings and moldings, and original picture railing. A rare back staircase — a hallmark of early Craftsman design — adds both character and function. The spacious eat-in kitchen offers abundant countertop space and generous cabinetry, making it a natural gathering place in the home. Outdoors you'll enjoy a rare rooftop deck ideal for dining al fresco or unwinding in the warm months. The home sits on a generous, private lot that feels quiet and tucked away despite being right in the center of Buckman. Downstairs, a massive full, unfinished basement offers loads of storage and potential for future expansion. Seismically strapped for peace of mind. Walkscore.com rates this address a “Paradise” for walkers and cyclists, making car-free living not just possible but easy. Outstanding location surrounded by cafes, parks, restaurants, schools, and everyday amenities all at your fingertips. This unique home is a true ray of sunshine. [Home Energy Score = 2.
