Description

A Rare Opportunity to Own One of Portland's Architectural TreasuresSome homes are purchased. Others are entrusted to the next generation.Built in 1911 and recognized on the National Register of Historic Places as the Walter & Myrtle Honeyman House, this extraordinary residence is one of Portland's finest surviving examples of Tudor Revival architecture. Designed by renowned master architect David C. Lewis, the home is widely regarded as the purest expression of Tudor Revival design in his residential portfolio—a true architectural masterpiece that has stood the test of time.Constructed during the same remarkable era as nearby Pittock Mansion, the home represents a defining chapter in Portland's history, when the city's most influential families built enduring estates overlooking the city they helped shape. More than a century later, it remains remarkably preserved, offering an extraordinary level of craftsmanship and authenticity that simply cannot be recreated today.Perched above NW Cornell Road on a dramatic terraced homesite, the residence offers more than 7,100 square feet of timeless living space with sweeping views toward the Fremont Bridge and Mock's Crest. Original millwork, leaded-glass windows, soaring ceilings, stately fireplaces, and an elegant blend of Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and Arts & Crafts detailing create spaces that feel as inspiring today as they did more than a century ago. Thoughtful updates, including a beautifully renovated kitchen, allow the home to embrace modern living while preserving its remarkable soul.Adding to its incredible versatility, the home also features a fully equipped secondary kitchen and private apartment, creating endless possibilities for multigenerational living, extended guest accommodations, a dedicated caregiver's suite, or an income-producing rental. It's a rare feature that blends seamlessly with the home's historic character while offering the flexibility today's buyers desire.Just minutes from
