A
1913 Colonial‑Revival mansion, complete with a curved glass canopy over its front entrance, is listed for $3 million in Northeast Portland’s Irvington Historic District. Located at 1408 NE Knott St on a 0.23‑acre lot, the 6,314‑sq‑ft home exemplifies the style that dominated 40 % of U.S. houses from 1910 to 1930. In the 1910s, half of Portland’s metro residents moved across the Willamette to the Northeast’s Streetcar Suburbs, where farmland was subdivided into wide streets and quarter‑acre lots, prompting architects to design Queen Anne, Arts & Crafts, Colonial Revival and Period Revival homes.
Listing broker Taryn Petrini, co‑owner of Kinected Realty, describes the property as “a piece of history in one of Portland’s most distinguished neighborhoods.” The house boasts five fireplaces, including a gas fireplace in the second‑story primary suite’s seating area. Three additional bedrooms occupy the upper level, while the lower level contains a media/game room, a fifth bedroom, a bathroom, a second laundry area, and storage. The front door features side glass panels and an arched leaded‑glass transom, leading to a central foyer with columns, a coffered ceiling, and a grand staircase. Inside, hardwood floors, oak doors, stained and leaded glass, built‑in cabinetry, and crown molding underscore the restored elegance.
Modern amenities extend outdoors: a covered lounge with a drop‑down TV, built‑in grill, and fireplace, plus a sun deck, pool, and hot‑tub area. The property also includes a carriage house and a two‑car tuck‑under garage. Buyers who appreciate preserved architectural storytelling will find this home a rare opportunity.
