Built in 1913 by a master craftsman, the JJ Armstrong house stands today as a testament to the Arts and Crafts movement. Few homes in Portland have the level of detail reflected in this home's envelope where corbels, stout batons, intricate banding and the perfect color palette highlight why Irvington is not just a historic community, but among the most cherished in all of Portland. Stepping up to the front porch and through the main door you will immediately witness the same level of detail executed on the exterior on the interior. Incredible custom millwork is showcased in almost every room! From a three tiered fireplace mantle, multi-layered crown molding and an intricate stairwell, you will marvel at the incredible detail that went into this home over 100 years ago. The kitchen has been remodeled to include gorgeous shaker cabinetry, a Viking Range, Schoolhouse lighting and the perfect pathway to the backyard! All three bathrooms have been remodeled, each paying the perfect homage to the home's history. The second floor is features three bedrooms and a gorgeous bathroom, while the lower level boasts a bonus room, family room, second full bathroom and utility area. The main floor showcases the formal spaces and den, while a rebuilt 2 car garage anchors the west end of the property. Stunning grounds surround the main dwelling and reinforce the incredible stewardship applied to almost every aspect of this home! Just blocks to broadway shops, the Irvington Club and Grant and Irving Park. You don't want to miss this opportunity to own a piece of Portland's history!
