3217 NE 18TH AVE

A piece of Portland history! An architectural wonder! Every inch of this gorgeous Irvington Craftsman has been lovingly restored and made to shine. A distinguished alum of the Historic Irvington Tour, selected for its many charms - not least an iconic front porch, faithfully reconstructed with classic Craftsman columns and all the fir detailing. Even the chimney was rebuilt to match the original! Surrounded by a lush and ever-changing garden, meticulously designed and tended, leading to a sun-dappled back yard with a flagstone patio and cedar-strung hammock. Step inside a house that wraps you up like a warm hug from the living room all the way back to the breakfast nook - oak floors, pocket doors, built-ins, picture rails and box beams only begin to lift the lid of this treasure chest. Pride in ownership throughout and room after room of classic craftsmanship. Begin and end each glorious day in a large primary with dual walk-in closets and a luxurious bathroom (think heated tile floors and a rain shower). Three additional bedrooms plus an office fill out a picture-perfect floor plan - and let’s not pass over stunning mentionables like the classic kitchen, crown jewel dining room and sunny upstairs landing. Even the basement deserves its due, with a ready workshop, gobs of storage and a tunnel to the garage that, let’s admit it, is pretty darn cool. So many more features we don’t have room to mention; you just have to see it in person. All this in the heart of idyllic Irvington - you’ll never want to leave! Just a few blocks from Whole Foods and neighborhood favorites like Lucca, Guilder, Garden Fever, Mojos and more! If you do occasionally grow restless with all the peace and quiet, make your way to bustling Alberta Street and sample the offerings: Proud Mary, Gumba, Great Notion, Salt & Straw - the options are endless. Come tour this peerless Craftsman before someone snatches it up for another thirty years! [Home Energy Score = 3. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10250949]
