She's been here 102 years, and she's never looked better. This beloved Laurelhurst classic sits across from the iconic Peacock Lane, giving you a front-row seat to one of Portland's most beloved holiday traditions, year after year. Imagine hosting holiday parties while Peacock Lane glows just outside your door. Set in one of the inner eastside's most sought-after neighborhoods, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with a flexible bonus room (office, nursery, workout room—you decide) spans two levels plus a usable basement, offering flexibility you'll actually use.The bones are a century old, but strong. The systems are largely updated. A newer roof, refreshed kitchen, updated drainage, modern lighting, new HVAC, and fresh interior paint mean you get all the charm of a 1920s Laurelhurst auntie with much of the hard work already done. Most windows are double-paned with a transferable lifetime warranty through Champion—a detail that quietly explains why the interior stays so peaceful. And that charm is real: abundant crown molding, French windows, glass doorknobs, and hardwood floors throughout are the kind of character you simply can't replicate today. Even the laundry chute made the cut.Rare for this stretch of SE Stark: off-street parking out front. A single-car garage off the English alley and small parking pad mean you'll never circle the block. The house sits above street level, and the interior is remarkably quiet—visitors are regularly surprised. Stroll to Laurelhurst Park, the beloved duck pond, and miles of walking trails in minutes. Walk to neighborhood eateries and shops. And when the holidays arrive, your front porch has the best seat in the city.This home has been loved by the same family for more than a quarter of a century. Now it's your turn.
