Property Description
This Piedmont/Humboldt Foursquare home has been conscientiously restored and maintained by the owners over the past 30 years. Set on a pretty tree-lined street, the location is a perfect combination of similarly-sized neighbors and stature, while just 2 blocks from cafes, coffee, shops, the library, and Peninsula Park and Rose Garden. The owners' love of gardens is evident upon first approach to the front yard and porch. Once inside, an airy sunlit formal entry leads to the large living room with bay windows and a formal dining room with built-in benches. The updated kitchen offers a dedicated 6x10 eating nook, a 6-burner gas stove, and covered back sunporch. Moving up the well-appointed staircase are 3 generously-sized bedrooms and closets, and a full bath. Visitors will note preserved period and architectural details throughout the main and upper levels. The high-ceiling basement offers potential expandability - it has an enclosed 'toilet room' and a utility sink. Outside, east French doors lead to a deck and serene, enchanting backyard. The owners' love of flowers and gardening is evident here. Raised garden beds are already planted with vegetables for the season. (See "What Are in the Gardens"). Mechanical upgrades for this stately home include: 2026 exterior paint; 2025 knob and tube wiring removed from attic and basement; 2025 added attic insulation to R49 value; 2024 upgraded interior basement parge coat on 2 walls; 2022 sewer line and water service replacement; 2021 all wood floors refinished throughout; 2018 new tear-off roof. See Improvements and Upgrades list for much more. The owners have stamped and engineered plans for adding a half bath on the main level and expanding the kitchen by enclosing the back sunporch. The city approved the design and historic zone overlay. The sellers also had a different design drafted to add a half bath without the expansion of the kitchen. Both designs will be available for view inside the house. See you soon. [Home Energy Score = 3. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10247720]
