Erdman—renowned for homes defined as “Beauty at its best”—this property reflects timeless design and enduring craftsmanship, thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle.Offering 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the home balances elegance and comfort throughout.

The roof, replaced approximately eight years ago, is professionally maintained annually.Outdoor living is equally compelling, featuring curated landscaping, a welcoming front paver patio, and a private backyard retreat complete with a paver patio and distinctive sand-filled putting green.Set among Alameda’s iconic tree-lined streets and just moments from beloved parks, boutiques, and dining, this is a rare opportunity to own a legacy home in one of Portland’s most sought-after neighborhoods—where history, design, and lifestyle converge.
