Originally built in 1906, this re-imagined home is ONE-OF-A-KIND! It has been lovingly designed and renovated from top to bottom, inside and out. NO DETAIL WAS SPARED! Inspired by traditional Japanese farmhouse architecture (the Minka), this 2 bed 1.5 bath home has 1450 SQFT + 552 SQFT of extra usable space in the lower level. It sits in the heart of desirable Sellwood, and is just a stroll to coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, Sellwood Park and waterfront, the Springwater Corridor, and New Seasons Market. The exterior is built with the highest quality old-growth cypress and cedar, with fiber cement panels (hardi-panel), and all wood is fastened with bronze nails. Surrounding the home is bonsai mountain landscape to harmonize with the architecture. Greenhouse and fruit trees add the perfect ambiance. The interior finishings respect the era of PDX craftsman homes, with wood trim, all original wood flooring, and original lath and plaster to preserve the visual texture and minimize noise from room to room. Custom rosewood cabinets and concrete countertops express a contemporary aesthetic in the kitchen. The modern, spacious bath features ceramic tile, concrete counters, and beautifully finished wood detailing. The garage opens into the immaculate basement incorporating studio, workshop, and storage space. Cabinets built throughout create additional functionality and structural integrity. The outdoor patio, driveway, and garage entrance are paved with European-style concrete pavers for enhanced permeability and drainage in the wet PDX climate. This private, exterior space is great for entertaining (complete with a simple fire pit) or sipping coffee while enjoying the tranquil sounds of nature. It is truly a GEM! [Home Energy Score = 4.
