Originally built in 1913 and designed by renowned architect Ellis Lawrence for James Malarkey, this extraordinary Arts & Crafts residence is a true Portland Heights masterpiece that seamlessly blends historic grandeur with modern livability. Spanning three levels, the home offers remarkable original details, including beautiful millwork, leaded glass windows, rich hardwood floors, and period craftsmanship throughout. The gracious main level is designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable daily living. A formal living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace opens through leaded-glass French doors to a stunning dining room featuring custom built-ins. The inviting kitchen offers modern appliances, generous workspace, a breakfast nook with its own fireplace and an adjoining butler’s pantry. Completing the main level is a light-filled bonus room with built-in cabinetry and an additional wood-burning fireplace. The 2nd floor boasts a spacious primary suite featuring a fireplace, walk-in closet, dual vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms, a private office, and an oversized laundry room provide exceptional functionality. The finished third floor offers flexibility with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a large media or recreation room ideal for guests, entertaining, or multi-generational living. Set on nearly half an acre, the grounds are equally impressive. Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces include an oversized deck capturing eastern city views, expansive patios surrounded by mature landscaping, and a charming gazebo with a hot tub, creating the perfect setting for relaxation and year-round enjoyment. Located in one of Portland’s most iconic and sought-after neighborhoods, this rare offering combines scale, architectural significance, and timeless beauty. Just blocks from Ainsworth Elementary, the Markham Trail system, and minutes from NW 23rd Avenue, downtown, & major freeway access. [Home Energy Score = 1.
