1621 NE KNOTT ST

Designed in 1910 by renowned architect Archie Rice, this iconic Irvington Craftsman—known as "the home with the arches"—is one of the neighborhood's most celebrated historic residences. Opportunities to own homes of this architectural significance rarely come to market. Beautifully preserved architectural details include signature arches, stately columns, box beam ceilings, extensive millwork, wainscoting, built-in window seats, and a glazed tile fireplace that showcases the home's timeless craftsmanship. A gracious full-width covered porch welcomes you home and offers the perfect place for morning coffee as the neighborhood comes to life. Inside, generous gathering spaces have hosted holiday dinners, graduation celebrations, birthday parties, and the everyday moments that become family traditions. French doors open from the living room to a light-filled sunroom, ideal as a library, office, or guest retreat. A rare full bath on the main level adds flexibility, while the updated kitchen features granite countertops, a built-in hutch, and quality appliances. The second floor offers four spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets, a full bath, and access to a private balcony. Occupying the entire third floor, the primary suite is a peaceful retreat with its own fireplace, ensuite bath, custom skylight, and exceptional privacy. Outside, the private courtyard garden is a true sanctuary. Enjoy summer dinners on the patio, evenings in the hot tub, the soothing sound of the fountain, hummingbirds among the flowers, and owls visiting the garden after dusk. The expansive lower level adds a large family room, workshop, laundry, and abundant storage. Perfectly situated on one of Irvington's most desirable streets near parks, award-winning schools, Broadway District restaurants and cafés, and downtown Portland. Some homes are owned. The special ones are stewarded. After a century of bringing people together, this remarkable Irvington residence is ready to begin its next chapter. [Home Energy Score = 1.
