Welcome home to 27 Norwood Street! Sit on the porch swing and smell the roses -- or simply listen to the birds from your private backyard, surrounded by the beauty of a mature perennial garden. This is the lifestyle that awaits you here, nestled in one of Portland's most beloved neighborhoods, where tree-lined streets connect you to award-winning restaurants, bakeries, and coffee houses, all within easy walking distance. Top-rated public schools -- elementary through high -- are just steps away, and the serene trails of Baxter Woods, Evergreen Cemetery, and Back Cove are practically at your doorstep. This classic Queen Anne shingled Victorian is crowned by a steep gabled roof and features a grand wraparound front porch with classic columns. Lovingly maintained with original woodwork, hardwood floors, and stained glass, this 5-bedroom, 2-bath home is a natural gathering space for family and friends. A light-filled living room flows naturally to a formal dining room, and a warm kitchen features a gas heat stove and custom cabinetry. A full bath and convenient main-floor laundry add everyday ease. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a second full bath offer flexibility for family, guests, or remote work. The third floor tucks two additional bedrooms under cozy eaves, perfect for guests, creative pursuits, or play. Outside, a private back deck and patio are framed by mature trees and flowering shrubs -- an ideal setting for entertaining or quiet retreat. The sun-drenched side yard is a gardener's dream, and a stamped concrete driveway adds a polished finishing touch. Recent energy-saving updates and modern systems ensure year-round comfort. 27 Norwood is more than a home. It's a Portland lifestyle, offered for the first time in 25 years.
