2815 NE 15TH AVE

Dearest gentle reader, built in 1912, this Irvington beauty has lived a storied life before the one she is preparing to share with you. At 114, she remains in full command of the room and knows precisely how to make an entrance. Set behind wrought iron gates and lit by the soft glow of gas lanterns, the home feels both cinematic and deeply rooted before you even reach the front door. Inside, the original fireplace, double French doors, built-in cabinetry, hardwood moldings, and graciously scaled rooms reveal a house crafted with intention and confidence. The living room and library carry that rare old-home magic: formal enough to feel significant, warm enough to actually live in. The remodeled kitchen is equally fluent in beauty and function, with soapstone countertops, custom cabinetry, double sinks, Sub-Zero refrigerator and wine fridge, Wolf stovetop, Bosch dishwasher, instant hot water with filter, and a custom built-in breakfast nook made for coffee, conversation, and staying a little longer. The dining room continues the story with original built-ins and a sense of occasion worthy of both holiday dinners and Tuesday takeout. Upstairs, the remodeled primary ensuite offers a walk-in closet, balcony, soaking tub, and custom shower with Ann Sacks tile. The fully permitted 5th bedroom and bathroom in the basement add flexible space for guests, work, media, or whatever life asks for next. A sauna, custom bar, Pratt + Larson tile, generous storage, mature landscaping, Japanese maple, wisteria, custom perennial garden with fountain, and fully fenced backyard complete the offering. Located in the heart of Irvington, with access to Irvington Elementary and Grant High School, this home sits in one of Portland’s most beloved historic neighborhoods, where tree-lined streets, nearby parks, coffee, restaurants, shops, and lasting neighborhood connections are part of daily life. Some homes step onto the stage. This one stops the show. [Home Energy Score = 2. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10189441]
