132 NE COOK ST, Portland, OR 97212

Step into 1908 done right. This 4 bed, 2.5 bath Victorian blends turn-of-the-century character with the updates today's buyers actually want. A formal entry with an open staircase sets the tone, opening to spacious living and dining rooms wrapped in original fir hardwoods, crown molding, and a built-in hutch that anchors the period charm. The chef's kitchen is the heart of the home: new LVP flooring, gas range, farmhouse sink, honed granite counters, and stainless steel appliances, plus a breakfast nook with built-in bench seating made for slow weekend mornings. Schoolhouse electric fixtures carry the vintage spirit throughout. Upstairs 3 bedrooms include a private primary suite. The lower floor offers a 4th bedroom or flexible space, ideal for a home office, guest room, studio, or playroom. Behind the scenes, the home has been thoughtfully modernized: AC/heat pump, high-efficiency gas furnace, and extra attic insulation keep things comfortable and efficient year-round. Location is everything here. You're just steps from the vibrant North Williams corridor in the heart of the Eliot and Boise neighborhoods, where some of Portland's best bars, restaurants, and shopping are right at your doorstep. Yet the home enjoys a quieter setting on Cook St, where eastbound through traffic is naturally limited — with no left turn onto MLK Jr. Blvd -- you get the rare combination of urban life and residential calm. Outside, a covered front porch invites you to linger, while the fenced backyard with a large deck and patio is built for entertaining. Rare RV parking adds everyday practicality you won't find in most homes of this era. At 2,270 sq ft, this is a truly exceptional blend of historic craftsmanship and move-in-ready updates. Minutes from Irving Park and the new Goddard Preschool & Daycare. [Home Energy Score = 4. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10249204]
