Dinner parties run late here. Espresso is enjoyed on quiet mornings while rain taps softly against the windows. Life within these walls feels calm, welcoming, and deeply lived-in. Set nearly 50 feet back from the street behind lush, mature gardens, this exceptional English-style residence feels quietly tucked away in the heart of Laurelhurst, just two blocks from the park. The architecture strikes a rare balance - timeless and elegant, yet relaxed enough for everyday living. Beautiful original craftsmanship pairs effortlessly with extensive updates, including Marvin wood windows, Simpson doors, high-efficiency HVAC, updated plumbing and electrical, newer roof, central vacuum, and fresh interior and exterior paint. Rich millwork, gracious formal rooms, and abundant natural light create spaces equally suited for lively gatherings or quiet evenings at home. The kitchen blends timeless materials with exceptional function, featuring soapstone counters, pewter hardware, a Wolf induction appliance suite, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Upstairs, the dreamy 'Sky Room' landing offers a light-filled retreat among the trees - perfect for reading, working, or watching Portland's ever-changing skies. Bedrooms feel peaceful and private, with the warmth and proportions rarely found in newer homes. The nearly quarter-acre grounds are mature, layered, and intentionally designed for beauty through every season. Below, the expansive unfinished basement with separate exterior entry offers incredible flexibility for future living space, guest quarters, studio, gym, or workshop. Though the home feels wonderfully private, the block itself offers something increasingly rare: a warm, connected neighborhood filled with longtime residents and genuinely wonderful neighbors. Romantic and effortlessly livable, this is a home for those who value atmosphere, architecture, and spaces meant to be truly enjoyed. Home Energy Score = 1.
