1133 NE 37th Ave, Portland, OR 97232

Some homes are built to blend in. This one was never meant to. Built in 1924 by Albin Pajunen, the Finnish craftsman behind some of Laurelhurst's most beloved homes, this corner lot beauty still turns heads the way it did a century ago, with peaked rooflines catching the light, arched windows framing the front garden, and a facade that feels pulled straight from a storybook. One of the neighborhood's last original gas lamps still stands, a quiet reminder of just how long this corner has been part of Laurelhurst's story. Step through the front door and that same warmth follows you in. Original wood floors, hand finished trim, and a century old staircase still carry the craftsmanship of the builders who raised this home. A formal dining room waits for holiday gatherings, the family room and adjoining sunroom invite slow mornings with coffee in hand, and 4 bedrooms upstairs give everyone a place to call their own, with a 5th bedroom on the main level, ideal for guests or a home office....
