Built in 1913, this classic Arts & Crafts home was designed by architect Ellis Lawrence, the founding dean of Oregon School of Architecture and Allied Arts at University of Oregon. Mr. Lawrence was the designer of some of the Portland's finest homes and this home is certainly one of them. Celebrating its 100th birthday this year, it is for sale by only the third owners - a true testimony to the home’s appeal. A handful of this home’s highlights are its generously sized rooms, Siberian oak floors, leaded windows, time-honored dark wood accents, an elevator between the first and second levels, and four wood fireplaces with handsome period detail including one in the kitchen which exudes an old-world charm. It’s a home perfect for real life and it celebrates intimate private moments as much as entertaining. It has graciously welcomed friends and family throughout the seasons - Summer barbeques on the extensive outdoor patios, Halloween costume parties and Thanksgiving dinners, jubilant Winter holiday parties, and Springtime brunches and Easter egg hunts. Located in a very private setting in the prominent Portland Heights neighborhood, the home offers beautiful mountain and city views, easy access to downtown, OHSU campus, highways, and some of Portland’s best public and private schools.
