Double-gabled Dutch Colonial in Historic Ladd's Add. Architect, Folger Johnson would be proud. This home was Johnson's inaugural design upon his move to Portland, by way of NY after studying for 2 years in Paris. The home retains its architectural splendor, and has been lovingly restored and preserved: layers of wallpaper have been removed, walls restored and painted with colors chosen by a color specialist. Windows have all been restored and re-worked so they open. Original millwork has been restored and replicated. 'Modern' kitchen was designed by Architect Richard Brown to ensure it was in keeping with the original integrity of the home, complete with retention of the screened kitchen porch and milk delivery door. A culinary garden sits off the kitchen, with southeast exposure, and is brimming with established herbs. The primary bedroom is on the main floor, with an additional 4 bedrooms located on the second floor. The home was designed with thoughtful touches, additional built-ins, and generous walk-in closets & storage space in the attic eaves. The attached 1-car garage is accessed off one of the neighborhood's service alleys, and is cloaked in one of the most photographed wisteria vines in the neighborhood. The surrounding lawns and patios are bordered by garden beds brimming with old-world specimens from peonies, to roses, to lily of the valley. The home was sited to ensure privacy, while taking in the beautiful outlooks of the now historic neighborhood. The home looks out to one of the cherished rose gardens of Ladd's Addition. Ladd's Addition was established in 1891 and was inspired by the neighborhoods in Washington DC. Today, the now historic neighborhood is situated between two of the cities beloved thoroughfares: SE Hawthorne and SE Division and all of their delightful conveniences. This home is 0.3 of an mile from each of them, while the charming neighborhood coffee shop is even closer.
