Few Portland Heights homes come with a paper trail like this one. This 1918 Arts and Crafts bungalow has over a century of documented ownership history, including a 46-year chapter with one family and a historically-informed renovation that researched the home's original character before a single wall came down. A complete 10-page history is available for serious buyers, the kind of provenance that's genuinely rare to find on the market.The renovation itself is no less thorough: Sub-Zero, Monogram, Bosch, and Dacor appliances, both bathrooms retiled, a paint palette pulled room by room from Arts and Crafts-era references, and a former art studio converted into a primary suite with a custom Portland Closets walk-in. Outside, four distinct yards hold a custom stone kitchen, a Finlandia sauna, a hot tub, water features, and app-controlled low-voltage lighting. And then there's the view: Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Rainier, all four volcanoes from one property, a rarity even in the West Hills. Before you write it off as out of reach: this home comes with an assumable mortgage at a rate from 2021, well below what's available today. For the right buyer, that's real monthly savings baked into the deal.History, craftsmanship, and a rate most buyers can only dream of. This is Portland Heights living, done right.

The expansive upstairs gives you room to spread out with a bedroom plus plenty of space for an office, crafting area, reading nook, or some combination of all of the above.

And a lot of the not-so-glamorous (but very important) stuff has already been handled too: newer windows, an updated electrical panel with extra capacity, furnace + heat pump for heating and cooling, attic mini split, crawlspace insulation, smart thermostat, newer fencing and gates, and a 220V outlet in the attached garage for EV charging. Woodstock Park is just a quick stroll away, with New Seasons, Grand Central Bakery, coffee shops, restaurants, and neighborhood favorites all close by.
