Historic Craftsmanship, Quality Updates, and Exceptional Walkability. Built in 1900, this home reflects more than a century of craftsmanship and care. Wood, slate, and tile flooring provide authentic, enduring character—without vinyl or synthetic materials. Major systems, including new foundation, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, have been thoughtfully updated. Kitchen, bathroom, and basement remodels were completed by skilled tradespeople experienced in historic homes. Outdoor Spaces The west-side catio is a standout feature that drew community interest during the Portland Catio Tour, welcoming more than 500 visitors. The backyard’s southern exposure & uncommon privacy make it ideal for morning sun, gardening, relaxing outdoors, or entertaining. Landscaping has been redesigned for lower water use and easier maintenance, replacing grass with plantings and converting former concrete areas into stone pathways. The yard and driveway have been consistently maintained and improved. Neighborhood and Walkability-The location is ideal for anyone who values walkable, connected living. Parks, cafés, and restaurants are just steps away. Longer walks or jogs easily reach Laurelhurst Park, Mt. Tabor, the Eastbank Esplanade, the Saturday Market, and downtown. Walking to Providence Park for Portland Thorns games has been a favorite part of living here, along with exploring nearby neighborhoods on foot. [Home Energy Score = 5.
