4605 NE Alameda St, Portland, OR 97213

In the pedestrian paradise between NE Sandy Boulevard and NE Fremont Street; five bedrooms, three bathrooms (3 showers, 2 bathtubs), two fireplaces, original 1939 details, spread over three levels, on a commanding corner lot. A Chef's kitchen is complimented by a 65'L x 14'W irrigated garden.Built for an abundant life alongside superior gatherings, these 3,191 square feet possess a distinct drama, inherent in the original build, and strengthened since. Counter to ceiling Pratt & Larson tile in the kitchen, custom white oak cabinetry, fine appliances, all accentuate the main floor's core trait, inlaid hardwoods across every square inch.A bespoke Matthew Peterson cherry library, original mahogany windows, an Art Deco fireplace. Sliding door onto the spacious Ipe deck, leading to a Karen Ford designed outdoor living space, openness and privacy coexisting in French gravel and tasteful plantings.Returning indoors, the primary suite, the most secluded corner of the main floor, an en-suite bathroom, twin sinks and closets. Another main floor bedroom, generously sized, beyond a bathroom boasting an original bathtub and a shining example of the home's 1939 construction--a glass brick wall that magically comes to life in the morning sun.On the lower level, cork flooring extends throughout, with a second fireplace anchoring a spacious family room. An energetic hub complimented by two bedrooms, a bathroom with bathtub and shower, and direct access to the one car garage.The upper level, a large room with sloped ceilings, wall paneling, leads to the home's largest closet-think racks of clothing, archives, suitcases. Beyond it, the unfinished attic holds rarely touched objects.In entirety, this is home as heirloom object, protected, refined by generations of caretakers. Craftsman quality details predominate. With its refined interior, sweeping corner vista, imbued with many years of joy and history, 4605 NE Alameda awaits its next owners.
