About the Listing RGIC02 - ROTHROKE,KEMPEMMA

Step into Irvington history reimagined. The August Olson House, a 1910 Craftsman designed by renowned architect Raymond Hockenberry (of Crater Lake Lodge fame), is perched high on a private 12,500 sq. ft. lot, elevated above one of the neighborhood’s most beautiful tree-lined streets. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this grand home has undergone a decade of meticulous renovation that preserved its architectural soul while infusing it with modern livability. Freshly repainted, with new lighting, stunning hardware, and a dramatic skylight flooding the stairwell with natural light, every space feels elevated. Rich millwork and gracious proportions set the stage for elegant formal rooms, a main floor family room, and a dining room overlooking the treetops. The chef’s kitchen combines timeless design with Carrera marble counters, top-tier appliances, gorgeous new hardware, and a butler’s pantry. A sunny breakfast nook that seats 6–8, plus island seating, makes this the perfect space for gatherings. Upstairs, four bedrooms include a dreamy primary suite with a walk-in closet and spa-like bath wrapped in marble and Pratt & Larson tile. The lower level delights with an authentic English pub and a 1,000-bottle wine cellar—perfect for entertaining. Multiple zone heating and cooling with 2 high efficiency furnaces and AC units. Outdoors, the secluded backyard retreat feels like your own private park, with multiple patio spaces, a koi pond, stonework, lush gardens, and a full outdoor kitchen complete with pizza oven. Rare for Irvington, a rebuilt three-car garage adds unmatched convenience and storage. This is more than a home—it’s a piece of Portland history and one of the neighborhood’s crown jewels.
