Step into this beautifully preserved 1890 Victorian gem, situated on a quiet street between the popular Hawthorne and Belmont Districts shops and restaurants. Sitting on a generously sized 6,700+ square foot lot, this home welcomes you with soaring 9-foot ceilings and a bright, airy feel. Three bedrooms occupy the main floor, while the partially finished basement offers two additional rooms—previously used as bedrooms but non-conforming—alongside a dedicated workshop space and exterior entry. Recent upgrades include a high-efficiency gas furnace added in 2023, as well as central air conditioning, new composition roof, and fresh exterior paint in 2024. The interior has been refreshed just this year with new paint, refinished hardwood floors, and new carpeting in the bedrooms. Big ticket items have already been done! Outside, you'll find a covered front porch, fully fenced yard, and convenient off-street parking. Adding to its allure, this property comes with a stack of title records, carefully preserved by past and current owners, reaching all the way back to Perry and Elizabeth Prettyman. Pioneers who journeyed west on the Oregon Trail, the Prettymans were granted 620 acres in 1866 through the Donation Land Law, making this home not only a place to live but a piece of living history. Walkable, bikeable, and close to both Downtown Portland and Mt. Tabor Park, this location is second to none. Ask your agent for the documents attached to this listing.
