A rare opportunity to own and reimagine a meaningful piece of Portland history in Sunnyside, just steps from Ladd’s Addition. This 1909 Craftsman-influenced Portland Foursquare offers timeless character with much of the opportunity centered around cosmetic updates, not major renovation. Electrical and plumbing were updated in 1995, and a new heat pump was installed in 2019. New dishwasher, stove and refrigerator in 2023. Architectural details include a front-gable roofline, wide overhanging eaves, original millwork, and striking basalt stonework on the front porch and fireplace—believed to match the same material used at Portland’s iconic Pittock Mansion.Inside, generous spaces, natural light, and preserved period details create a warm, inviting environment. Dual staircases—including a main stair and a secondary service stair to the kitchen—reflect the craftsmanship of another era. A rear bedroom, once servant quarters, retains its own exterior entrance, while original wall separations offer a glimpse into the home’s formal past.The upper level is a standout feature, offering separate exterior access along with its own water heater, electrical service, water meter, and heat source—creating strong potential for guest quarters, extended living, or ADU-style use (buyer to verify).National Register designation does not restrict interior remodeling (buyer to verify), providing flexibility to update while preserving the home’s historic character.
