A rare opportunity awaits! An A. E. Doyle designed home on a choice half-acre parcel in the coveted Westover Terraces neighborhood. Shenandoah Terrace is a special quiet dead-end lane where homes rarely become available. Built for F.H. Ransom, who was the president of the Eastern & Western Lumber Company. He had access to quality lumber and materials and commissioned renowned commercial and residential architect A. E. Doyle to design his forever home. Many of Doyle's buildings are listed on the National Historic Register, underscoring his importance in shaping the contemporary face of Portland. Great care has been taken to ensure the home kept it's original scale and aesthetic. The home just celebrated its centennial with a seismically reinforced foundation - complete with earth anchors embedded into bedrock and a new basement floor reinforced with rebar (2013-2015), Most windows have been upgraded to custom double-pane windows to match the original windows, a custom kitchen (2008) with quarter-sawn oak cabinetry, Basco appliances and updated plumbing and electrical, a new water line from street to house (2009) replaced sewer line (2014) and new electrical from street to house plus a 200 Amp breaker box (2008). The home received a new composition roof (2024). The residence is enveloped by professionally landscaped gardens and patios on all sides. Stone pathways are adorned with carefully selected blooming shrubs & perennials. The majestic Copper Beech Tree was likely here before the house was built. When walking the grounds of this rarely-found 0.52-acre parcel, it is evident why 2885 NW Shenandoah Terrace has been cherished by its residents and retained for nearly four decades. The location feels incredibly private, yet so close to the Historic NW Alphabet District, Uptown Shopping Center, downtown, Washinton Park and Beaverton/Hillsboro. Hillside Community Center and park is a few blocks away and Forest Park caresses the Westover Terraces neighborhood. [Home Energy Score = 1.
