Property Description

Step into the charm of Sellwood living in famed architect, Richard Sundeleaf's "honeymoon cottage", built in 1926 for his family and where he lived and worked for several years. While maintaining the original design aesthetic, this historic home has been thoughtfully updated and offers the perfect blend of old world craftsmanship and modern amenities. Upon entering the home, you’ll find beautiful period details—box beamed ceilings in the dining room, original hardwood floors, and period sconces that cast a warm glow. The spacious living room invites you in with its classic fireplace flanked by two cozy window seats, creating an ideal spot to gather or unwind. The updated kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring quartz countertops, rich wood cabinetry, a 5-burner gas range, and peninsula with seating for two. It flows seamlessly into a comfortable family room, perfect for casual evenings at home. Upstairs, the home offers a functional layout with three bedrooms and a beautifully updated full bath - complete with heated tile floors and a walk-in shower. The landscaping was meticulously designed by a former owner, who was the garden curator at the Portland Japanese Garden for over 30 years. The corner lot unfolds like a secret garden, offering both privacy and Japanese accents complete with raised garden beds, 150 year-old transplanted blueberry bushes, a charming greenhouse, seasonal water features, and several Japanese maple varieties. An attached two car garage adds convenience and storage. And, the location in the "sweet spot" of Sellwood offers the very best of Sellwood living: shops, restaurants, and amenities are just moments away, plus easy access to the Westside and Lake Oswego. The desirable location is across the street from Sellwood Park, trails, Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge and stellar bluff views just around the corner. Welcome home to one of Sellwood's most iconic homes. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10241897]
