Description

Perched above the Willamette on a quiet street that ends in a wooded hiking trail, 506 SW Hamilton offers a peaceful haven just five minutes from downtown Portland. This vintage charmer was the personal home of a local builder who designed many of the houses in the area, and the quality of craftsmanship and care is evident throughout.

This vintage charmer was the personal home of a local builder who designed many of the houses in the area, and the quality of craftsmanship and care is evident throughout. The entry welcomes you with a built-in bench and a walk-in coat closet. Living and dining rooms feature coved ceilings, elegant woodwork, and a fireplace with a wide mantel flanked by beautiful built-in shelving. The bright, cheerful kitchen retains its vintage appeal with original tile and a sunny breakfast nook. From the dining room, step out to the home’s standout feature—an expansive Ipe deck with sweeping views of the forest, river, and city. Even more stunning is the home’s large terraced lot. Spring is an explosion of bloom with cherry, magnolia, apple, pear, and plum trees in every direction. In the summer, enjoy raspberries, blueberries, marionberries, and figs, and watch for the doe and fawn who often cool off on hot afternoons under a circle of plum trees. At the fence line, a detached garden structure with a new roof and deck provides flexible space for a studio, home office, or retreat. The property goes on behind the fenceline and includes a majestic white oak. Upstairs, find four bedrooms and a vintage bathroom with an amazing view! The top level is a large bonus room complete with a skylight. The spacious daylight basement has potential for conversion into additional living space. One of Portland’s hidden gems, the Homestead neighborhood invites you outdoors. The block ends at a forest path with a year-round creek and ascends to Terwilliger Parkway with access to Forest Park trails. Across the street is a great pocket park with one of the area’s notable viewpoints of Mount Hood. OHSU is less than five minutes away, and a short drive connects you to Hawthorne, Division, Hillsdale, and Sellwood. [Home Energy Score = 1.
