Today was one of those stereotypically “Portland” spring days – 
grey, pouring rain sideways, downright dismal. As I unlocked the door to my newly listed Mt. Tabor Craftsman, I felt a rush of comfort and coziness!! AHH! In this refuge from the rain, a golden glow beamed from vintage wall sconces, bouncing off leaded glass cabinetry.. Had I not had work to do I could have curled up on my client’s overstuffed couch and watched the rain and wind pelt the green of the Mt. Tabor Reservoir across the street. Add a cat, a good book, and a cup of cocoa and you’d have what I consider the Quintessential Portland Home.
Sitting directly across from the Mt. Tabor Reservoir, GREEN is what you see from this restored 1925 home! Leaded glass built-ins, original restored lighting, and pickled trim abound! Darling vintage-inspired updated kitchen with cool VCT tile, cute eat-in dining area (dinette set not included) as well as a grand formal dining room with built-in leaded glass hutch, multi-paned windows, and glass french doors. There are four bright bedrooms, two with cozy dormers, and one which has yard access and is in use as a family room. Updated bathrooms include period-appropriate fixtures and tile, one with a Clawfoot tub, the other with skylight and roomy shower. Full, unfinished basement with high ceilings and laundry. Kid-friendly back yard is fenced, newly sodded, and there are climbing hand holds for the most adventurous of kids! Double driveway (there was once a carriage lane which when decommissioned was deeded to the property – if you tour the home flip through the antique title on the dining room table) provides ample off-street parking. Tabor park access couldn’t get much better. Hawthorne and Division streets with their endless supply of eateries and shops are just blocks away.
