Property Description

Welcome to the Syracuse Sanctuary where time slows and calm settles in. Set on an oversized lot in quiet University Park, this soulful 1911 Foursquare feels private and grounded, wrapped in mature trees and thoughtful landscaping that softens every edge.Step inside and feel the shift. The rooms are inviting in the best way: cozy, quiet, and rich with history. Original unpainted woodwork, push-button light switches, and refinished Doug Fir floors glow with warmth, while the craftsmanship of another era anchors every space. The circular main floor flows easily from the formal entry to the dining and living rooms, and then to a beautifully remodeled kitchen where old meets new: center island with bar seating, quartzite counters, scalloped Pratt & Larson tile, unlacquered brass by Perrin & Rowe, custom wrapped range hood, appliances from Sub-Zero, Wolf & Bosch, and a butler’s pantry with open shelving. Also on the main floor: the most stylish powder room you have ever seen, convenient laundry with extra sound insulation and a sun porch overlooking the amazing yard.Upstairs, a very rare primary ensuite is a true retreat with a stunning steam shower. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath echo the same care and craftsmanship. We're talking hex tiles, cast-iron clawfoot tub. Every fixture and finish feels deliberate — a house restored with respect, not reinvention.Out back, the yard unfolds into layers of comfort and creativity. The pergola includes built-in lighting with a dimmer for evenings that stretch long, and a hidden sliding panel that opens discreet access to the alley. A side lawn invites play and mature plantings create calm and privacy. The detached 2-car garage with alley access and driveway offers space for an office, studio, or a future ADU?With a new dual zone heat pump, updated systems, and a basement ready for ideas, the Syracuse Sanctuary is a perfect balance of design & privacy, carefully restored to celebrate Portland's past & present.
