This pristine, 2 bedroom + office, 2 bath, 1908 Craftsman house in Portland's Historic Irvington neighborhood is so original and authentically restored that guests feel as if they are stepping back a century to when the architectural style was cutting edge. Modifications to the original floor plan have been few and necessary updates were made to match the era. Modern conveniences are such as new heating and air conditioning systems have been installed behind the plaster walls. On the main floor, the butler's pantry space has been incorporated into an enlarged kitchen. A closet was made to create a bathroom for the master suite. And the former back porch is a laundry-mudroom that exits to a side yard. But the irreplaceable Craftsman and Arts and Crafts details, from crown molding to brass doorknobs, remain, adding grandeur to the two bedroom house. The covered porch has front columns between low river rock walls. Open the handsome, glass-and-wood front door and find a decorative bay window that spans most of the window wall in large living room. Look under the box-beam ceiling in the formal dining room to find picture rail moldings. A china cabinet has a secret passthrough to the kitchen. Another built-in cabinet stands next to a river rock fireplace crowned with an oak mantel. CZ Becker Co. of Portland refinished the wide maple floor planks and the intricate inlays and borders. Each of the original multi-pane windows and doors is unique. The redesigned kitchen has features that fit the gone-by era: Glass-fronted cupboards, Marmoleum floor, granite counters and a deep sink. One of the two bathrooms has new hex floor tiles, beveled subway wall tiles and a pedestal sink as well as a re-glazed cast-iron tub. There are two bedrooms plus a den and 1800 square feet of living space. As featured in The Oregonian! Air conditioning, wood burning fireplace, garage, washer & dryer, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, refrigerator with filtered water machine built-in are all included. No pets please.
