Property Description

Built by renowned architect Ellis F. Lawrence for Laurelhurst Park developer Paul C. Murphy comes this cherished Arts and Crafts English Cottage. Rarely does a sanctuary such as this become available; offering grand spaces, intricate period detail and masterful craftsmanship - all at the intersection of accessibility, walkability and livability. Lawrence's philosophy embraced natural, locally sourced materials and a sense of quiet, storybook charm. This home embodies warmth, spatial flow while accentuating room connections through cased openings. Step inside to the gracious foyer, glass-French doors to the hearth centered living room enshrined by casement windows to the private, stucco courtyard. A focal fireplace strikes a cozy note to an otherwise grand space. The adjacent library is perfect for whiling away afternoons with your classic tomes. Step out into the East-oriented sunroom to bask in stunning Spring splendor. Garden parties are a dream - framed within the stucco courtyard among patios & yard. For memorable events, the dining room befits great affairs and is served by the butler's pantry + built-in features. The gracious kitchen offers a chef's worthy, gas Thermador range, tile floor and breakfast nook. For rest, two upper levels provide a myriad of bedrooms, bathrooms and flex space - including primary bedrooms with en suite including tile floors and shower, home office, jack-and-jill bedrooms with bathroom plus bonus space ideal for a walk-in closet or craft room. The third floor boasts two bedrooms and a guest bathroom + additional storage. The lower level features an expansive family room ample enough for a home gym. Don't miss the workshop, laundry room and multiple storage spaces. The attached two-car garage + guest friendly driveway add convenience to the parties. A stroll to famed Laurelhurst Park for a picnic with its 32 acres of lush lawns, myriad tree species, duck pond, and off-leash dog area is like having living history in your backyard.
