Location, location, location! Nestled just one block from Sewallcrest Park in Portland's sought-after Colonial Heights neighborhood, this classic English-style home beautifully blends timeless character with modern updates. Built in 1940, the residence showcases original details including mahogany millwork, leaded-glass windows, built-in cabinetry, and hardwood floors, complemented by reclaimed maple flooring and tasteful modern accents. The primary suite is a true retreat with its private bath, home office, walk-in closet, and balcony overlooking the treetops. The kitchen has newer cabinets, quartz counters and stainless steel appliances including a new range, microwave and dishwasher. Other recent upgrades enhance comfort and efficiency, including a new water heater and air conditioner. Main floor living possible with the added washer/dryer combo. The finished lower level offers engineered waterproof composite floors, a climate-controlled wine cellar, abundant storage and a flexible media or recreation room. Outside, an oversized detached garage provides ample space for vehicles, projects, or future ADU potential. The setting is equally compelling-tree-lined streets, easy access to cafes and shops, and strong nearby schools-making this home a rare opportunity to enjoy historic soul, modern comfort, and incredible walkability in the heart of Southeast Portland.
