If walls could talk, this home would have some incredible stories to share. Grand in every sense—from soaring 10' ceilings to spacious rooms—this stately 1915 Craftsman is full of character, charm, & tasteful updates. Gorgeous fir & oak floors, original unpainted woodwork, French doors, wood burning fireplace, original period lighting, built-ins, & very large picture windows. The main level is ready to host your biggest celebrations - generous cook’s kitchen, a classic butler’s pantry, formal living & dining rooms. Yes—there’s a speakeasy! It’s perfect as a game room, music space, or creative retreat! On the lowest level, there’s a newly finished basement bonus room that includes a large utility room/workshop, laundry room, abundant storage, and a door to the 2 car garage. Updates include two high-efficiency HVAC systems with A/C, updated plumbing, 200 amp electrical panel, heated bathroom floor, stainless kit appliances & wine fridge, and sewer line. The magic continues outside. The charm of the home is matched by the yard & multiple outdoor living spaces. The sizable front porch welcomes you, while two decks—one off the kitchen, one rooftop above the garage—make entertaining or relaxing outside a breeze! There’s a patio, garden beds ready for flowers or veggies, and a darling potting shed that could double as a playhouse. Mature trees have been professionally cared for, and yes, there’s even a garden bed right in front. And Milwaukie is a vibe! A lively farmer's market, food carts, First Friday, quaint Main Street (including a brand new Pfriem taproom!), Willamette River access, and just minutes from Sellwood. An easy commute to downtown Portland via car, MAX/bus, or bike. Grab what you need from New Seasons or Trader Joe's -- and don't forget ice cream from Luna's! So many great things nearby!This home may be grand in size, but really feels like home.
