Splendid 1903 Arts & Crafts styling on double lot in Willamette Heights

Superb example of 1903 Arts & Crafts styling by gifted architect Emil Schacht. Sited on a double lot in popular Willamette Heights, with level garden grounds surrounding the home, tapering uphill adjoining Forest Park.

Privacy, sunshine, and mountain view dominate the landscape. Inside the architecture is comfortable and harmonious, with many classic built-in functional elements; pocket doors, bookcases, window seats, walk-in closets, and remarkable use of bay windows. The respectable remodeling over the past decades has clearly enhanced, but not compromised the the original beautiful architecture.

The kitchen is updated with clear fir cabinetry, honed granite counters, attractive tile flooring, a welcoming eating area and two sets of garden doors bringing the outside in.

There is a very unique and compelling family room addition that feels like a suspended treehouse on the second floor.

Built 109 years ago to showcase and introduce "modern architecture" to the throngs of attendees of the Lewis & Clark Exposition, this beautiful Emil Schacht landmark home has proudly withstood the test of time.
