Built in 1923 at the height of Portland’s streetcar era, this Dutch Colonial stands as a refined Alameda classic, offering a rare blend of architectural integrity, rich history, and elevated everyday living. Designed and built by English craftsman William R. Shelton, the home reflects an era when houses were thoughtfully constructed, proportions were intentional, and craftsmanship was meant to endure. The home offers 4 bedrooms and 1.1 baths, with interiors that balance warmth and elegance. Original built-ins, French doors, and distinctive rooflines remain hallmarks of the design. Two wood-burning fireplaces—one anchoring the living room and another in the upper-level primary bedroom—add comfort, character, and timeless ambiance. Abundant natural light and graceful room flow create spaces equally suited to quiet mornings and gracious gatherings. Modern comforts have been seamlessly incorporated, including updated mechanical systems and fresh interior paint, allowing the home to live beautifully today without compromising its past. Anchoring a prominent corner lot within the historic Alameda Park Addition, the property enjoys strong curb appeal and a refined residential setting defined by tree-lined streets and enduring neighborhood character. This is a place shaped by more than a century of thoughtful growth, where homes were designed to foster connection, longevity, and pride of place. Zoned for Alameda Elementary, Beaumont Middle, and Grant High School, and close to parks, local shops, and city conveniences, the home’s enduring appeal lies not only in its architecture, but in the way it has quietly supported generations of daily life. Today it stands ready to carry its legacy forward—offering comfort, character, and understated luxury in one of Portland’s most established neighborhoods. [Home Energy Score = 2.
