Celebrate 100 Years in Style–A Century-Old Craftsman Gem in the Heart of Sabin. Built in 1925 & lovingly updated over the years, this extraordinary home turns 100 in 2025. Located on one of Sabin’s most charming, tree-lined streets, it’s a rare blend of historic soul & modern function—thoughtfully renovated without losing what makes it special. At 3,785 sq ft, this 5 bedroom, 3 bath craftsman offers space to stretch out & settle in. Natural light-filled living spaces feature original architectural details alongside picture windows & an open floorplan excellent for hosting. The kitchen is a true gathering space, with a central island & bar seating, quartz countertops, double oven, a coffee station, chef's gas cooktop & new appliances including refrigerator & dishwasher. A main-level bedroom is ideal as a guest room, an office, or a home gym. Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat unto itself—with dual walk-in closets & a spa-style bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub & glass shower. Also upstairs are an additional full bathroom & two bedrooms with large closets. Downstairs, the finished basement adds flexibility: a large lounge, bonus room & spacious bedroom are perfect for movie nights, play, or visiting family. Out back, you'll find a fully fenced urban oasis with a deck, patio & a built-out detached office—ideal for working from home, studio time, or study. It even transforms into an outdoor theater for summer movie nights. A new patio landing crafted from the original garage chimney bricks adds a soulful touch. The detached garage has been upgraded with new electrical service & an EV charger. After nearly a decade, the current owners are relocating out of state & will deeply miss this home & community. Sabin is one of NE Portland’s most loved neighborhoods—walkable, bikeable, close to parks, top schools, local cafes, & public transit. This isn’t just another house—it’s a century-old home with heart. Come experience it for yourself. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10025293]
