The Historic Louis Pfunder House was designed by horticulturist Louis Pfunder & architect Emil Schacht - inspired by Gustav Stickley's Craftsman movement. Stickley’s philosophy emphasized harmonizing homes with their natural environment, fostering a spiritual connection with nature while prioritizing natural light. This resonated with Pfunder. He chose a large corner lot with ideal exposure. He and Schacht balanced a cozy ambiance with refined elegance, incorporating architectural delights while ensuring the home's comfort, scale and environment were in harmony. Artisans from the Pittock Mansion were employed, including the Povey Brothers' for their stained art glass. Breathtaking stained and leaded glass windows, showcasing botanical themes, were designed for on all four sides of the home. The home's elevated position, providing privacy, maximizes natural light from every direction while casting patterns of colored light throughout the home, captivating, delighting & inspiring all who enter. This inspiration led to a passion for preservation. A journey that began with a historic postcard featuring the home and led to a 20-year restoration effort, that included surfaces, exterior, and systematic updates. Updated baths and kitchen effortlessly blend period-appropriate features such as custom Pratt & Larson tile, and furniture-grade Stickley-inspired cabinets. Today the home is inviting and comfortable, with a versatile, flexible layout for today's needs. The home has an unfinished basement, with access to the 2 car garage as well as a finished 3rd floor w/views of Portland and Mt Adams. Situated on a prime double lot, in the Grid of the Portland Heights neighborhood, surrounded by lush lawns, patios, and outdoor entertaining spaces. 1/2 mile to downtown, NW 23rd Ave, Providence Park & Washington Park. Council Crest's trails & Beaverton conveniences are nearby. There is convenient access to nearby Ainsworth Elementary, just 1.5 blocks away. [Home Energy Score = 1.
