"According to architectural historian Thomas Hubka, the foursquare is one of Portland's "Greatest Housing Hits," which perhaps makes this one in University Park a total earworm. We love the look of it from the front, including all of the trademark tells of its type, like the full front porch with columns, the cubic facade, and the pyramidal roof topped with a mini dormer. But it just gets better and better once you're inside."
"Built in 1911 and remodeled by Fore Story Projects, it has an interior that stays true to the historic form, with just-right upgrades to make it feel fresh. We're talking about the refinished Doug fir floors, unpainted woodwork, and antique hardware mixed with Pratt & Larson tile and a steam shower. Priced at $725,000, it's no wonder it went pending after five days."
The 1911 University Park Foursquare blends authentic historic character with contemporary upgrades following a Fore Story Projects remodel. The exterior features a full front porch with columns, cubic facade, pyramidal roof, and mini dormer. The interior retains refinished Doug fir floors, unpainted woodwork, and antique hardware alongside Pratt & Larson tile and a steam shower. The main floor follows a four-room plan with entry hall, living and dining rooms positioned for circular flow, and a large updated kitchen with quartzite counters, a central island, Wolf range, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. A scullery-style sink room, sound-treated laundry, powder bath, sunporch, and oversized backyard complete the offering. The home listed at $725,000 and went pending after five days.
