The Kenneth Reed House was designed in 1924 by beloved Oregon architect Wade Hampton Pipes. Pipes trained in England at the Central School of The Arts & Crafts and was the first to introduce the English storybook style to Portland. His signature aesthetic is evident with the old-world stucco exterior, an arched covered entry, projecting bays, the steeply gabled roof & multi-pane casement windows. Meticulously maintained and lovingly restored, the home offers modern conveniences skillfully blended with the handiwork of the craftsmen who built it- oak floors, picture molding, bookcases, glass doorknobs, fir floors & French doors are found throughout.The living room is anchored by a cozy fireplace while a large bay window floods the space with natural light. View ancient sequoias & magnificent deodora cedar trees from the sunroom windows.The fully updated kitchen offers a Wolf Range, granite counters and a dream walk-in pantry. The breakfast room is surrounded by a bay window with a built-in bench. Upstairs a primary bedroom enjoys its own private deck in the treetops. The lower level features a family room wth new oak floors and is ideal for casual entertaining or a quiet movie night. There is also a fully appointed guest suite with a walk-in closet and full tile bath. Designed with an eye towards multi-generational living, this level has 2 separate doors to outdoor decks. The landscaping includes climbing roses, oak leaf hydrangeas, Chinese elm, rhododendrons and boxwoods. The attached 1 car garage was recently re-built & includes a storage space underneath. This Portland Heights residence, based on Pipe's admiration for cottages in the Cotswold District, has long been a source of creative inspiration for those who lived there. In the 1960's author Peg Bracken called this home. Bracken, a humorist, wrote the famous 'I Hate to Cook Book", an irreverent and popular guide. Later, this was the residence of beloved Portland TV icon and Oregonian columnist Margie Boule. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10183432]
