About The Property

A rare offering in the heart of Portland, this distinguished circa 1906 Craftsman residence, designed by celebrated architect Emil Schacht, is a home of exceptional provenance, warmth, and beauty. Lovingly maintained over the past three decades, the home has undergone extensive updates to both its surfaces and systems, thoughtfully enhancing comfort and livability while honoring its architectural heritage. Great care has been taken to restore original period details, including dramatic beamed ceilings, picture and plate rail moldings, wainscoting, and richly detailed millwork. Emil Schacht’s architectural signatures include the diamond-pane windows, all restored & re-worked, while the home’s distinctive spire-pierced roof gables showcase extraordinary craftsmanship and character.Inviting outdoor spaces include 2 decks, a covered porch, a back lawn and and extensive culinary and cutting garden. Windows frame outlooks with mature trees and Mt St Helens & Rainier views. Beyond the interiors lies one of the property’s most enchanting features: its extraordinary gardens. Lovingly cultivated over many years, the front and rear gardens create a private botanical retreat rarely found in the city. Most notable are five mature yuzu trees, a prized and highly unusual feature in Portland’s climate. Their fragrant fruit is treasured for culinary use, from zest and juice to cocktails, seafood, and desserts.Additional garden highlights include a mature Concord grapevine surrounding the front deck, a magnificent 25-foot persimmon tree, prolific blueberry bushes, and a rare bed of Appalachian ramps cherished by chefs and gardeners alike.More than a residence, this is an architectural heirloom, garden sanctuary, and an opportunity to own one of Portland’s historic treasures. Located in one of Portland’s most coveted neighborhoods: Willamette Heights, where the street ends in birdsong and forested trails of Forest Park. [Home Energy Score = 1.
