Built in 1906 and deeply woven into Portland’s civic history, this Portland Heights residence is more than a home it’s a legacy property. Once owned by Portland’s first female mayor, this nearly 5,000-square-foot estate reflects a time when homes were designed with intention, scale, and permanence. Original architectural details remain proudly intact: high ceilings, period moldings and paneling, turn-of-the-century built-ins, and wood floors that honor the craftsmanship of the era. Thoughtful updates respect the home’s historic character while allowing you to enjoy it comfortably today, creating a rare balance of authenticity and livability. Recent seller investments include refinished wood floors, a backup generator, sewer improvements, and a security system with gated entry enhancing both comfort and peace of mind. The floor plan is traditional yet functional, offering four bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths, including an oversized primary suite that feels like a private retreat. A spa-like bathroom, generous proportions throughout, and an expansive third-floor bonus/entertainment space with its own bath provide flexibility for multi-generational living, creative use, or hosting on a grand scale. Set on a quiet Portland Heights street just steps from Ainsworth Elementary, this location defines classic Portland living. Walk to the city center or head down to NW 23rd Avenue for shops, cafés, and dining—urban convenience without sacrificing neighborhood calm. The rebuilt garage adds to the home's charm.This is not a replica of history—it’s the real thing. A home for someone who values legacy, location, and the opportunity to steward a meaningful piece of Portland’s past into its next chapter. [Home Energy Score = 2.
