Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored piece of Portland history in the heart of Ladd’s Addition. Built in 1923 by neighborhood builder James Greco as his own residence, the home’s original Craftsman character has been carefully preserved while being updated for modern living. The remodeled kitchen features restored century-old wood floors, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a wine bar and a charming breakfast nook. French doors open to a new deck and rejuvenated backyard with vintage pavers, creating an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The living room centers around a restored fireplace with a gas insert. Additional improvements include updated electrical and plumbing, and a Level 2 electric vehicle charger at the detached garage. The partially finished basement adds flexible space and includes drafted plans for conversion into a one-bedroom apartment. Ladd’s Addition is known for its remarkable neighborhood design, with diagonal streets radiating from central Ladd Circle Park toward four diamond-shaped rose gardens. Together, the gardens contain more than 3,000 rose bushes representing approximately 60 varieties. Enjoy a peekaboo view of the East Rose Garden from the front porch, with tree-lined streets and historic architecture in every direction. Despite its central location, Ladd’s Addition feels like a peaceful, tucked-away enclave within the city. Its historic homes, gardens and unusual layout create a distinct sense of place, while the highly walkable location puts many of Southeast Portland’s favorite restaurants, coffee shops, bars, boutiques and neighborhood businesses close at hand. Hawthorne and Division are just blocks away, offering the best of inner Southeast Portland while preserving the quiet residential character that makes Ladd’s Addition so special.
