This Grant Park Jewel Box is the rare gem that combines timeless charm with modern updates. Renovated from top to bottom, this property features five well-proportioned bedrooms and three full bathrooms arranged over three levels. The main level is made for entertaining, with open concept living and dining rooms flowing into the elegant chef's kitchen. Cooking is a delight with the gas range, floor-to-ceiling pantry cupboards, 20 feet of marble counters, and hammered copper sink. Head downstairs into the second living space (or potential ADU), which is already set up for your home theater. A custom wet bar is the perfect place to make popcorn or a tasty beverage. When you're ready to unwind, find inner peace in the truly luxurious owner's suite with a separate relaxing area, full bath with step-in shower and double sinks, walk-in closet, and a striking glass feature wall that bathes the room in morning light. You can enjoy a sunny Portland summer in the fully fenced backyard, where the patio and firepit provide a delightful space for outdoor gatherings. The extra-long driveway can accommodate multiple vehicles, and features an EV charger. The low-maintenance landscaping gives you ample time to enjoy all of this and more. Nestled in a prime location just two blocks from Grant High School and four blocks from the esteemed Beverly Cleary School, come immerse yourself in timeless elegance and contemporary luxury at the Grant Park Jewel Box.
