625 NE COWLS ST

OPEH HOUSE SUNDAY 11AM-1PM. Built in 1911, this Foursquare Craftsman has had more than a century to perfect its charm. Just blocks from Third Street, it greets you with a rose arbor, a boxwood-lined walk, and a covered porch with a swing. Inside, original hardwoods, box-beam colonnades, picture rail, crown molding, five-panel doors, and original fixtures tell a 115-year-old story. Curl up in the window seat by the wood-burning fireplace, then host dinner in the formal dining room. Two staircases: one for grand entrances, one for midnight snack runs. The kitchen keeps its built-in glass-front china hutch and an arched telephone niche down the hall, ready for its next chapter. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms include a generous primary with two closets, and the bath offers a jetted soaking tub, separate shower, and double pedestal sinks. Every good story needs an attic, and this large finished attic delivers. The full basement and converted garage studio are ready for your next big idea. Knob and tube removed and rewired, some PEX plumbing, 2021 foundation and drainage work, restored plaster, and fresh paint. Blocks to the Thursday farmers market, restraunts, Harvest Fresh Grocery, cafes, and Filbert's Scoops ice cream right behind you!
