Description
Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after West End neighborhood, this 1899 home was masterfully designed by the renowned architect John Calvin Stevens for philanthropists Edward and Mary Staples. Today, those timeless lines showcase the home's charm and character and original details such as the two-story stained-glass window in the stairwell, cozy bedroom fireplaces, elegant pocket doors, and gleaming old-growth hardwood wood floors.

Today, those timeless lines showcase the home's charm and character and original details such as the two-story stained-glass window in the stairwell, cozy bedroom fireplaces, elegant pocket doors, and gleaming old-growth hardwood wood floors. The property has undergone a meticulous renovation with modern amenities such as bespoke light fixtures, an inviting front porch and private parking (or playing!) on the blacktop around the back. Light bathes the interior from all sides. You'll have an easy time entertaining with a chef's kitchen—gather around the ample kitchen island for casual meals, or step into the formal dining area where you can comfortably fit a large table. The living area has plenty of space for gatherings and relaxing. The third floor boasts an enviable view and is currently an income-producing three-bedroom, one bath apartment. A bonus downstairs room is perfect for an office with its built-in cabinetry, but it could also be a convenient space for a first-floor bedroom, playroom or craft area. The full basement is a flexible space that can be used for a home gym, weatherproof storage, or even overflow company. And if this weren't enough, you're in one of Portland's most desirable and quiet neighborhoods, but just minutes to parks, famers markets, coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, and Downtown. A shining example of Portland's best classic architecture, this home won't last long!
