6637 NW SAINT HELENS RD

Some homes are built to impress. Others make you want to pour another cup of coffee, watch the rain roll through the trees, and stay awhile.Tucked against Forest Park along Portland's historic St. Helens corridor, this 1922 Dutch cottage is a little piece of old Portland that got a remarkable second life. Rebuilt to the studs in 2014, it has the bones of a century-old home without a century's worth of headaches. French-pane windows, graceful arches, restored vintage fixtures, custom built-ins, and a gorgeous Klinker brick fireplace give this place something you can't order from a builder's catalog: soul.Behind all that character? Updated electrical, insulation, furnace, and major systems. The kitchen keeps things honest with butcher block countertops, stainless appliances, and timeless simplicity.With 1,582 square feet, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and an unfinished lower level offering storage and possibilities, this is a home for someone who appreciates what they're looking at.And the location? That's where things get interesting. Forest Park practically in your backyard. Sauvie Island down the road. St. Johns, University of Portland, NW Portland, and downtown all within reach. A little wild, a little historic, and unmistakably Pacific Northwest.For the buyer who sees past cookie-cutter construction and recognizes craftsmanship, location, and lasting character, this isn't just another house.It's old Portland, beautifully reinvented. And there's only one like it. [Home Energy Score = 6. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10188065]
