Property Description

A Laurelhurst landmark, reborn for a modern lifestyle - complete with a permitted guest house boasting a 5-star, 5+ year track record as a top-performing short-term rental. This five-bedroom, four-bath dwelling was the subject of an uncompromising restoration by a master craftsman who knew it as his childhood home - a labor of love measured in detail and design excellence. For materials, beauty follows function at every turn: all new hand-stained aluminum clad double-paned windows, real wood trim (no MDF!), solid-core knotty alder doors, soapstone kitchen counters, Carrara marble surfaces, heated bathroom floors and vaulted cedar tongue-and-groove ceilings in both houses. Consider the methods: taken to the studs inside and out, fully insulated between rooms for climate & sound, seismically reinforced to the foundation, and rebuilt with new plumbing, electrical, furnace, & central air. All with the quiet flourishes, such as the original fireplace tile crafted by a celebrated local artist, bridging the home's storied past to its boundless future. Beyond the main residence, the permitted 2008-built guest house lives like a private treehouse retreat: a two-bedroom, one-bath open-concept with a full kitchen, vaulted cedar ceilings, skylights, a hot tub, fire pit, and hammock - a small-scale masterpiece with a loyal roster of repeat guests offering turnkey income potential. A separate studio off the garage provides a work from home dream. All of it rests on one of Portland's most desired streets, where mature trees, gilded landmarks and timeless architecture set a standard to which the rest of the city continues to aspire. Restorations of this caliber - meticulous in design, generous in amenities, rich in history - rarely come to market in Laurelhurst. Come see what a lifetime of care looks like and find yourself at home. [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10245893]
