Story of Place

Where Craft Meets Continuity

There is a steadiness here — a sense of proportion and material that has endured.

Stained glass filters natural light. Original built-in cabinetry remains in place. Hardwood floors run throughout, and crown moulding outlines each room. The architectural details that define the Craftsman style have been preserved with care, maintaining the scale and character of a 1919 home.

“The restoration extended well beyond the surface. We’ve updated the home’s major systems, including new plumbing, modernized electrical service and wiring, improved insulation, updated HVAC, a metal roof, and EV charging infrastructure. The craftsmanship you see is backed by the infrastructure you don’t—making this home truly move-in ready.”

– Home Owners

Living space unfolds across three full floors, creating room to live, work, and play in different ways over time. The main level flows easily between kitchen, dining, and living areas, supporting both everyday routines and full-house gatherings. The expansive kitchen—complete with gas range, stainless appliances, and a generous island—earns its reputation as a chef’s paradise, ready for quick breakfasts, ambitious dinners, or lingering conversations that stretch late.

Bedrooms are set on the upper levels, separate from shared spaces. The finished lower level—with bonus rooms, an additional bathroom, built-in sound, and a separate entrance—adds flexibility for guests, creative projects, movie nights, or extended stays.

Outside, mature trees and established plantings frame a private backyard setting. Rainwater catchment supports irrigation, while a covered patio and six-person hot tub extend the home’s usable space across seasons—well suited for summer barbecues, birthday gatherings, or soaking beneath clear winter skies.

This is a historic home that balances character and capability, prepared for everyday life in all its variety.

The Five Roots
of Regeneration

● Health & Wellness

Three finished levels create space for movement, rest, and daily rhythm. The kitchen supports cooking from scratch, with room to prepare and gather without crowding. The backyard offers a shift in pace—fresh air, mature trees, and a six-person hot tub that invites quiet restoration at the end of the day. Parks and neighborhood streets nearby extend opportunities for walking, biking, and time outdoors.

● Sustainability

Significant reinvestment has strengthened the home’s long-term performance. New plumbing, updated electrical service and wiring, improved insulation, modern HVAC, and a durable metal roof contribute to efficiency and durability. EV charging infrastructure supports lower-emission transportation. Rainwater is guided from the metal roof into oak barrels, where it’s gathered and returned to native plant gardens—redirecting what falls from the sky back into living soil.

● Community

This is a home for gathering and connection. Shared spaces transition easily from kitchen to dining to hearth, allowing conversation to move as freely as people do. Outside, the yard extends that invitation—ready for summer barbecues, birthday dinners under string lights, or quiet nights in the hot tub as seasons shift. The surrounding Woodstock neighborhood adds another layer—walkable streets, local cafés, nearby parks, and independent businesses that support a sense of place.

● Ecology

Established plantings and mature trees anchor the yard in its regional context. Native and perennial species support pollinators and seasonal change, while rain catchment reinforces a relationship between home and landscape. The lot may be modest in size, but it participates in Portland’s broader ecological system.

● Spirit

The previous owners poured their hearts into restoring this 1919 Craftsman, bringing renewed vitality to its historic form. Its layered history remains evident in preserved details, now complemented by the lightness and functionality of modern upgrades. The home carries the memory of what it has held, while offering capacity for what comes next.

The Five Roots are the foundation of what we believe contributes to a holistic environment that helps both people and planet to thrive.
