1530 S TROUTDALE RD

Possibly only the second time offered for sale since the original family built in 1930. This is the original homestead of the area, and it shows in every detail. A rare and captivating blend of historic charm and thoughtful updates, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is a love letter to craftsmanship. Original features include glass doorknobs, built-in curio cabinet, curved ceilings, arched doorways, wood-cased windows, decorative inlaid hardwood floors, and tall floor trim that simply aren't made this way anymore. The updated kitchen shines with granite countertops, tile backsplash, and beautiful cherry cabinetry. From the moment you arrive, the distinctive stucco exterior sets this home apart from everything else on the street — you already know before you walk in that this one is different. Mornings here begin the way they should: stepping out onto the deck, coffee in hand, with Mt. Hood framed on the horizon. The mostly fenced yard is bursting with established perennials that put on a show season after season, plus a tool shed for the gardener ready to dig in and make it their own.The basement alone is worth the visit with over 1,000 sq ft with high ceilings and a separate exterior entry, the possibilities are endless: multi-generational suite, home office, gym, woodworking shop, craft room, sauna, cold plunge...you name it. The sellers are even passing along original homestead photos for the new owner. Homes with this much soul don't come around twice. Come fall in love.
