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.
