Property Description

A rare architectural compound in the heart of Willamette Heights, this 1903 Shingle Style residence carries a lineage few Portland homes can claim. Originally the R.B. Lamson House, the home is noted for its architecturally significant design by Josef Jacobberger, who blended Portland's early Shingle Style tradition with emerging Arts & Crafts influence - steep gables, shingled surfaces, paned windows, and a sculptural presence that remains remarkably intact today. Set on an extraordinary triple lot of more than a third of an acre, just moments from Forest Park and the NW 23rd District, the home feels both deeply rooted and thoroughly current. Its most recent chapter was shaped by Jeff Kovel of Skylab Architecture, whose 2019 renovation brings a distinctly modern Portland sensibility to the historic framework: quiet luxury, crafted materials, immersive indoor-outdoor living, and a reverence for the original architecture rather than an erasure of it.The grounds are equally compelling, with a rare level lawn anchoring a beautifully composed landscape of covered outdoor living, expansive ipe decking, garden patios, raised beds, and a cedar hot tub set quietly into the greenery.A detached two-car garage includes EV charging, RV charging, independent service, heat, security, and storage - an unusually complete urban amenity.With architectural contributions spanning Josef Jacobberger, Marvin Witt, and Skylab's Jeff Kovel, this is not simply a historic home with a renovation. It is a layered Portland original: elegant, intelligent, deeply livable, and positioned in one of the city's most coveted enclaves, where Forest Park, NW 23rd, trailheads, views, and historic architecture define the daily rhythm of life in the Pacific NW.
