Storybook character and effortless modern living come together in this beautifully restored Kings Heights home. Thoughtfully refined by its architect-owner, the residence honors its 1928 heritage while creating a warm, comfortable flow for everyday life and entertaining. Rich hardwoods, wrought-iron details, natural finishes, and carefully preserved architectural elements give each room a distinct sense of character. The main level moves easily from gracious living and dining spaces to an updated kitchen designed for both function and connection. Throughout the home, windows frame greenery, seasonal views and mountain vistas, while inviting rooms, remodeled baths, and flexible spaces make the layout as practical as it is beautiful. Outside, the home unfolds from beautiful french doors into a series of private garden spaces. A walled front courtyard with lush landscaping and a fountain creates a peaceful buffer from the street, allowing the home to feel remarkably secluded. In back, an expansive mahogany deck, stone terraces, mature plantings, and a charming garden house create a magical setting for dining, relaxing, and gathering.One of the property’s most special features is its gated rear access to secret Quimby Street, offering a hidden back-door connection to the heart of Northwest Portland. From here, Forest Park trails, NW 23rd shops and restaurants, Wallace Park, Chapman School, and neighborhood cafés are all close at hand. Meticulously cared for and extensively improved, this is a rare home where historic soul, thoughtful design, privacy, and city convenience live beautifully together. [Home Energy Score = 1.
