Affectionately nicknamed the “Little House That Could,” this unique & vibe-y storybook home has been capturing hearts since 1883. Moved to its current perch in the 1940s where it continues to shine with timeless charm and SO MUCH character. Step inside and you’re greeted by soaring 10-foot ceilings, rich wood finishes, and beautifully preserved architectural details that give the home both warmth and character. The layout offers flexibility with one bedroom on the main level and a spacious primary suite upstairs, along with a sweet landing perfect for a home office or reading nook. With a full bath on each floor, everyday living feels easy and functional.Downstairs, a partially finished basement with bonus space/non-conforming 3rd bedroom provides room for hobbies, guests, or extra storage—of which there is plenty throughout the home.Outside, the grounds feel like a private garden retreat, featuring mature landscaping and charming rose bushes that bloom with color and history. And as a finishing touch, enjoy a peek of Mt. Hood—a quiet reminder of the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Extensively updated in the early 1990s with new wiring and copper plumbing, plus a Neil Kelly addition in 1994 that thoughtfully enclosed the front porch, this home blends historic soul with modern livability.All of this in a prime location just moments from OHSU, downtown, John’s Landing, and the South Waterfront, with easy freeway access for a seamless commute. Enjoy the best of both city living and the outdoors—near scenic hiking trails at Marquam Nature Park and the Willamette River, where boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, and miles of bike and walking paths await. A truly unique home with a rich history in the heart of it all. [Home Energy Score = 3. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10202807]
