If you're drawn to vintage Craftsman homes, this one is a must-see! Located in the coveted Montavilla neighborhood, this beautiful 1912 home blends historic character with modern updates. The terraced front yard bursts with hand-selected irises, which also line the extended driveway on the north side. Spend lazy summer afternoons swinging on the front porch, lemonade in hand. Inside, the open-concept living, sitting, and dining rooms showcase gleaming oak hardwood floors, two oversized picture windows, high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and a charming bay window. The updated kitchen has been remodeled within the past decade. Main level living includes a bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, all with brand-new windows that fill each room with natural light. The basement offers a nostalgic nod to the 1920s, featuring a built-in bar and vintage fridge reminiscent of a classic speakeasy. You'll also find a woodworking/storage area and a private laundry room downstairs. The fenced backyard is a lush retreat with raised garden beds, mature landscaping, and an elaborate wisteria vine that adds to the home’s enchanting appeal. An oversized garage with new electrical service provides plenty of storage and the potential for a creative or flexible use space. This is a desirable location within two blocks from beloved local spots like Fressen Bakery, Futura Coffee, Blank Slate, Rocket Empire Machine Food Court, and Secret Pizza Society. A little further south brings you to Mt. Tabor Park, Stark Street, Academy Theater, and the Montavilla Farmers Market. This is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Portland history.
