Description
Tucked into the heart of portland’s northwest neighborhood, this remarkable italianate-victorian residence is a timeless example of 19th-century craftsmanship and architectural beauty. originally built in 1885, it stands today as the 8th oldest home in the city and is proudly listed on the national historic register.
as they say, "you never really own a house…you just look after it for the next generation." this is the attitude of the generations of homeowners who have ensured bergman house's status as one of the most uniquely and well preserved residences in portland for 135 years and counting.
it's why passerby's constantly stop and admire the home, taking pictures and wondering aloud if the interior is as gorgeous as the exterior. although it has all the flourishes of an italianiate-victorian, all dressed in white inside with seamless original fir floors, it's elegance is understated and can be styled with modern furniture.
the exterior was repainted in 2024 with meticulously selected taupe and white shades, to "up" the attention on the architectural features and tone-down the "painted lady" appeal of the past.
the home's other key features include:
- grand 12' 4" ceilings on ground floor filled with victorian character and period details
- bay windows, pocket doors, and ceiling medallions in the formal parlor and dining room
- converted the victorian style fireplace to gas in 2024 for warmth and ambience
- grand central foyer with ornate staircase, transom window, and rich woodwork
- original wood fir floors throughout, refinished in 2023
- recently painted exterior in 2024 and new plantings in front
- 4 generously sized bedrooms with 11-foot ceilings, each with distinct character
- floor-to-ceiling victorian-style pantry offering extensive storage in the kitchen
- 9-foot ceiling basement with separate entrance — perfect for finishing into an apartment or rental
- front garden surrounded by a unique wrought-iron fence, plus a sunny, level backyard for entertaining
- 2 off-street parking spaces — a rare and desirable feature in this neighborhood
