This 1930s Mt.Tabor beauty is perched high above the street with sweeping city, territorial, and West Hills views. The original owner was H.L. Fairley, of the historic Fairley’s Pharmacy on Sandy Blvd. Lovingly maintained by just four families since, the home has kept its soul intact. Stunning original hardwood floors and woodwork remain, paired with kitchen and bathroom updates that blend right in. A 2020 renovation by Portland architect Lorraine Guthrie brought the kitchen and two baths fully current with Sub-Zero, Wolf & Bosch appliances, black soapstone counters, white oak cabinetry, and heated marble baths, all without losing a bit of character. The layout is made for entertaining, with a seamless flow from kitchen to dining to patio to living room. This 4 bed and 4.5 bath home on nearly half an acre, is equipped with automated irrigation, an orchard of fig, apple, and cherry trees, raspberry and blueberry plants, a rhododendron over 80 years old, plus mature landscaping and blooms for every season. Major systems have all been recently updated: A/C moved and updated (2022), new furnace (2022), water heater (approx. 2018/2019), and a 50-year-rated architectural fiberglass roof (approx. 18–23 years old). Also updated in 2022: the gas fireplace and a private office off the patio with hardwired Wi-Fi. Private. Secluded. Yet just steps from everything Mt. Tabor has to offer, including the park, Hawthorne Blvd., and neighborhood favorites like Coquine and Katy Jane’s Oyster Bar. A rare find — pedigree, polish, and a view worth the climb.
