Houses have history, and this one known to neighbors as "The Bicycle House" is chock full! In her lifetime, this grand ole'dame has been a Speakeasy during Prohibition, a boarding house, a gambling den, & an artists group home. The Seller painstakingly removed years of paint & sad "improvements", restoring & repairing every inch of this home to a gorgeous & immaculate condition. Pristine cherry floors on main and upper level are accompanied by warm woodwork throughout. A traditional Craftsman, the main and upper level has 2 bedrooms (or 3 depending on use), 3 baths, a family room & an amazing kitchen. Just one lot away from wonderful Alberta Street, the home is very close to food carts, shops and restaurants and the soon to be complete luxury Cascada hot sprints spa. Enter from the refinished porch through a custom hand carved front door to a stunning entry. The living room's big stone fireplace, deep window ledge, large windows & built-in cabinet display turn of the century design but in perfect condition. The kitchen is replete with more hand carved custom cabinets, a stainless Italian 5 burner range and refrigerator, and stone floors. Upstairs, there are 2 more bedrooms, 2 full baths with custom tile work, & a family room, with beautiful French doors adding to the charm. On the lowest level, a separate entry leads to a permitted garden apartment, which offers 2 more bedrooms, a full kitchen complete with "Bewitched" range/oven, a large living area, and a full custom bath with washer and dryer. In the rear, the garage (now lovingly called "The Cottage") offers a second washer/dryer, a recreational space with a bar & large windows, plus storage above -- it could be perfect as a home office. Finishing this lovely property off, there is a good sized yard with grass -- perhaps a game of croquet to honor the home's history? Three separate electrical meters to main home, apartment,& garage. Has a current Short Term Rental (AirBnB) permit. Buyer must reapply. [Home Energy Score = 4. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10234015]
