4107 N Albina Ave, Portland, OR 97217

If it seems like a sense of magic and wonder is scarce these days, this house is a portal into an enchanted world. Filled with sunshine and finely crafted details that have escaped the ravages of time, surprisingly flexible spaces and room for all your plans and dreams, it's hard to resist the spell this historic home casts. Original, never painted Doug Fir woodwork, a dining room with beamed ceilings, intricate wainscoting with a plate rail, all lit up by a south facing bay window and unchanged from the day it was built in 1910. A fireplace flanked by a leaded glass built-in and a bench to sit with a book on a rainy day and warm your toes by the fire. Modern life has intruded, but only in a good way. A posh 2nd full bath with a steam shower, a renovated kitchen with a custom copper sink, a new interior foundation with earthquake strapping, new wiring and plumbing and a permitted woodstove. Sitting high above the street, this handsome home has full southern exposure, two garages and a third attached garage for bikes. Around the corner from Mississippi and just blocks from N Williams and New Seasons - walk to anything your heart desires. Wander through, fall in love and become a part of this house's history.
