Property Description
Discover this captivating mid-century modern gem in the Portsmouth Neighborhood of North Portland. This exquisite home was built by local MCM builder Russell Hieder who built a number of homes in the Portsmouth area. Upon entering the home, you will notice a beautiful wall of windows drenching the space in natural light, a stylish tray ceiling, pristine hardwood floors, and warm original wood built-ins throughout the entire home that blend seamlessly. The jaw dropping asymmetrical corner fireplace with floating slate hearth and floor to ceiling Roman stone work will definitely grab your attention! As you move throughout the home, you will notice mid-century modern details are in abundance! All three generously sized bedrooms on the main floor have gorgeous original custom oak built-in closets with a unique shoe ledge and hidden dresser drawers, they are highly functional and beautifully maintained. The Kitchen boasts the original flat-front cabinetry, period metal pulls, rounded end cabinet and a very functional layout for cooking, hosting or gathering. You will love the vintage bathroom with turquoise tiles, boomerang countertop with stainless steel trim and retro apron-front tub. The lower level of the home invites you to step back in time with a dreamy living space boasting a vintage built-in bar and exposed brick fireplace. The lower level contains an abundance of flex space which could be used as an office, artist studio, game room or crafting area. You will also find a fourth bedroom, another bathroom and a laundry room that doubles as a full kitchen with everything you need. The lower level also has a separate exterior entrance giving endless possibilities for multi-generational living or rental income. This gem is all topped off with a generous backyard, covered patio, and mature landscaping. You will find ultimate convenience with close proximity to shopping, New Seasons, cafes, and just adjacent to the St. Johns neighborhood! A gem in a supreme location!!
