Perched on a quiet dead-end street in the historic NW Alphabet District, this exceptional residence is a rare blend of timeless grandeur and modern refinement. A long, private drive-secured by an electric gate-offers both seclusion and peace of mind, while a terraced rose garden and sweeping covered porch set a distinguished tone from the moment you arrive. Inside, the formal entry stuns with rich woodwork, custom built-ins, and original pocket doors that lead into sun-drenched living and dining rooms with soaring ceilings, walls of built-ins, a gas fireplace, and gleaming wood floors. The heart of the home is a designer chef's kitchen, featuring a marble island, granite countertops, top-tier appliances, and a walk-through butler's pantry. French doors open to a serene patio beneath a covered awning in this rare sunny flat backyard-fully fenced and perfect for year-round entertaining. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms and a cozy study fill the second floor, where oversized windows frame views of Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and Portland's city skyline. The third-floor primary suite is a true showstopper: a light-filled sanctuary with skylights, a spa-like bath, walk-in closet, and breathtaking 270-degree vistas that stretch across Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, the Cascade Range, and the twinkling downtown skyline. The finished lower level adds versatility and privacy, with a separate bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, laundry, and its own entrance-ideal for guests or multigenerational living.
