OPEN HOUSE Sunday, Oct 4th 11am-1pm. Restored top to bottom and perched high above N Curtis, this historic North Portland beauty is full of surprises. In 2007 the entire house was lifted two feet (yes, the whole house) for a masterful remodel. And with two street frontages, you can slip in and out through the back on Villard Street like Batman to your own private cave, and no one out front will ever know you've left. Cape optional. Some homes have curb appeal, but this place is next level. Set on a series of stone retaining walls, this one feels stately, private, peaceful, and commanding all at once from the moment you arrive. That lift created a fully finished lower level with higher ceilings, natural light, a family room, two primary bedrooms, and a sunken walk-out courtyard. It doesn't feel like a basement. It feels like a cozy, warm enclave you'll never want to leave. On the main floor, wood floors gleam, lovely built-ins and rich textures add warmth, and designer details make it...
