Welcome to the market for the first time in more than 50 years, this beautiful historic Irvington-area home. Locals may call it Grant Park, and they’re not wrong. Just one block from the Irvington neighborhood boundary, this 1908 classic offers the best of both worlds: timeless Portland character and an exceptional close-in NE location.Warm hardwood floors, tall ceilings, picture windows, original millwork, and preserved period details create a sense of history throughout, while thoughtful updates make everyday living easy. The kitchen and bathrooms have been tastefully renovated, the gas fireplace adds warmth and central air keeps the home comfortable year-round.Upstairs has a special warmth all its own. Tucked among the treetops, the rooms feel almost like living in a tree house, with leafy views, soft natural light, charming rooflines, and a peaceful sense of separation from the world below. A bonus room adds flexible space for an office, workout room, creative studio, or future bath.Outside, enjoy peaceful mornings and relaxed evenings on the deck, tend vegetables and flowers in the raised garden beds, or simply appreciate the mature landscaping, privacy, sprinkler system, and easy-to-maintain yard.Downstairs, more than 800 square feet of unfinished basement space provides laundry, storage, workshop possibilities, and room to imagine what comes next.And then there is the neighborhood. Grant Park is nearby, with its mature trees, playing fields, trails, playgrounds, and the beloved Beverly Cleary Sculpture Garden celebrating Ramona Quimby, Henry Huggins, and Ribsy — characters inspired by the very streets surrounding this home. Neighborhood shops and restaurants, and easy access to Moda Center and central Portland put so much of the city within easy reach.After more than half a century with the same family, it is hard to say goodbye to a treasure like 2012 NE 27th Ave. Ready for a place to call home for the next 50 years? This may be the one!
