Property Description

This rare Portland Heights jewel was masterfully constructed by architect Emil Schacht in 1908. The 5,637 square foot residence sits on a hard to find level lot offering 6 bedrooms and 4.1 bathrooms, along with a wealth of beautifully preserved details and original character: corbelled rafters, built-in window benches, a period-specific dining room with built-ins and leaded glass, box-beam ceilings, picture rails, front and back staircases, and oak floors with walnut inlay. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, this home features open and airy gathering spaces, a wood-burning fireplace, a tastefully updated kitchen with a butler’s pantry and a sunny breakfast area that opens to a patio overlooking one of many covered porches and garden spaces made ultra private by mature landscaping. The second-floor primary suite with attached full bathroom is filled with windows and natural light, has hardwood floors, a ceiling fan, built ins and includes a spacious custom walk-in closet with organizer. Wraparound windows create a light-filled office or hobby room, with 2 additional large bedrooms with closets nearby. While the top floor offers 2 more bedrooms and a full bath, the lower level provides an expansive family room with another bedroom suite and exterior entry offering flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. A laundry chute from all levels leads to the bottom floor laundry room with washer, dryer, utility sink, large cabinets for extra storage and folding counters. The large, secluded yard has abundant lawn space, numerous patios for entertaining outdoors and a porch swing. A spacious level driveway with a 2-car garage provides modern convenience. Set on a premier corner lot with a rare sense of privacy and space, this home is just minutes from nearby amenities. Rich in history, charm and distinctive architectural detail, this is a remarkable opportunity to make a Portland classic your next home.
