Portland Real Estate, Irvington Home Settings –

Canopied streets weave a grid-like pattern throughout prestigious homes. While large estate parcels are not present, character and old-world structures of style and grace certainly are.  Manicured yards, pathways and pergolas are a given, almost without saying.  Level and usable yards tend to be 5000’ on average, not large.  The Irvington neighborhood of NE Portland is well regarded and known for its historical home front settings with personal rose gardens.  Established primarily before 1920, there are many old growth trees and vegetation.  Walkscore tends to be “very walkable”, near  70.  Browse all Portland Homes for Saleimmediately.

Irvington Home Styles –

You’ll find classic English charm of steeply pitched 2 story homes, Dutch Colonials and Plantation style homes all on the same block.  Most are large, over 3000’ and present beautifully from every angle.  Majestic on the exterior and the most intimate detail inside.  Hardwoods complimented by a thorough use of modern materials to keep a classic look.  All big ticket items are updated and very modern yet retain a vintage feel throughout.  Small hexagonal tile, travertine, rich wood tones and a claw foot tub are common in bathrooms.  Remodeling an original home makes sense here, if you can find one that is.  New construction (condos) have sprouted close-by offering options with a modern approach.  Few cheap finishes in this neighborhood!
