Open house cancelled 6/28! A Portland Heights original with serious style, this 1910 SW Hills home pairs historic soul with bold modern updates and an outdoor setup that is next level. With 4 beds, 3.1 baths, two fireplaces, and an attached oversized garage, it lives beautifully—but the real magic is in the vibe: timeless architecture, elevated interiors, and resort-worthy outdoor spaces that make this home feel unlike anything else in the neighborhood.The outdoor spaces are FANTASTIC—among the best in the neighborhood. Two expansive Ipe decks, including an approximately 802 sq ft upper deck and 657 sq ft lower deck, create incredible areas for entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the setting. The built-in hot tub, gas-connected outdoor fireplace, gas BBQ line, turf lawn, stainless steel railings, stair lighting, and automatic LED landscape lighting give the backyard a resort-like feel. The landscaping has a cool Palm Springs-inspired sensibility, with recent plantings designed by Brendan Doyle of Pomarius in 2025. The entry and landscape also carry a special design history, with earlier work by Craig Keist and hardscape design by Michael Schultz.Inside, the home has been beautifully updated for modern living. The main floor features wood and tile flooring, a remodeled kitchen with tumbled granite counters, vertical grain bamboo cabinetry, a large storage-rich island, brass hardware and faucets, and high-end appliances including a Sub-Zero, BlueStar, and Miele. Upstairs, the layout was remodeled to create four bedrooms, including a primary suite with an added ensuite bath and approx.15 feet of custom closet space. Located near Vista Spring Cafe, Cotta Coffee, Stroheckers Park, and access to the Marquam Trail system, this is a rare Portland Heights opportunity with history, a hip vibe, outdoor drama, and everyday livability in one of Portland’s most beloved hillside neighborhoods. You really have to come see this home- one not to be missed and definitely don’t wait! [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10248977]
