What's special

Back deckVintage hardwareQueen anne victorianSoaring ceilingsLarge kitchenStained glassIconic victorian silhouette

Perched on the rolling hills of historic Lair Hill, this remarkable Queen Anne Victorian offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of Portland history. Listed as a fine example of the Queen Anne Stick/Eastlake style in the National Register, the home is rich with original character and timeless craftsmanship. Its iconic Victorian silhouette has made it a recognizable part of the neighborhood for generations. Adding to its unique story, the home is believed to be the childhood residence of Edward Thomas Foulkes, architect of the Pittock Mansion. For over a century, this home has quietly watched Portland evolve around it and now offers the opportunity to become the next steward of a property woven into the fabric of the city's history while enjoying the conveniences of modern living. Step through the formal entry to soaring ceilings, fir floors, push-button light switches, and stained glass that have endured through generations. Large windows fill the space with natural light, while vintage hardware and original millwork showcase the home's historic pedigree. The main level features formal living and dining rooms, a large kitchen, powder room, and back deck. Whether hosting holiday dinners, entertaining friends, or enjoying a quiet evening at home, the layout balances grandeur with everyday livability. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bath are joined by a charming balcony—a peaceful perch for morning coffee or an evening breeze. You’ll be reminded daily that this isn't simply an old house, it's a home with a story. The full basement provides laundry, abundant storage, and exciting potential for future expansion. With many system updates completed—including furnace, water heater, electrical, lighting, and kitchen appliances—the groundwork has been laid for the next chapter of this home's story.
