1958 Van Laeken Addition Modern - Located just north of Concordia’s Fernhill Park is a quiet, little-known, 3-block enclave of post-war midcentury homes including this special gem. Most of the homes in the neighborhood were custom-designed and built by architect Perry Weber and builder L.E. Leitritz and included roman brick facades and cocktail bars in the basements. Situated on a generous .2 acre corner lot, this home has most of its original design details intact which create an amazingly rich, cozy and warm ambience and provide a daily dose of inspiration. These include extensive mahogany built-ins and casework throughout, hefty 50’s bullnose tile in the bathrooms, walls of windows with full drapes and mahogany cabinet valances, picture moulding, hardwood floors and other period design surprises throughout. The very livable floor plan has the formal living and dining rooms in front of the home and the kitchen, 2nd dining area, den and outdoor covered patio in back. With laundry on the main, the 3 bed, 3 bath home allows for spacious single level living. With a 2nd wood burning fireplace, full bath and a separate entrance from the back (or the 2 car garage), the lower level has ADU potential as well as room for more bedrooms or other possibilities in the future. Recent improvements include new exterior paint and refinished hardwoods in ’24 and the concrete basement floors were polished in 2020.The home is located just 3 homes away from Fernhill Park which offers an off-leash dog park, summer events, winter sledding, sports fields, tennis courts, running track, splash park, playground and much more. It’s also close to the U of O Concordia Campus, The Kennedy School, New Seasons Market, Oakshire Brew Pub, NEPO 42 - NE 30th, 42nd & Alberta Street Districts, Whitaker Ponds and more. And Concordia residents have the added bonus of soaking in The Kennedy School pool for free! [Home Energy Score = 2. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10184136]
