Now it's up for sale and you're considering taking the plunge. The house is significant because of its architecture or its history or because of who originally owned or built it.
People recognize it as a neighborhood landmark.
Landmark houses come up for sale regularly. Besides being easily recognizable, landmark homes often offer classic design and craftsmanship, solid construction and old-fashioned floor plans. Plus, there's a very real sense of history when the home you live in has been lived in by people with a hand in Portland's past. Such is the case with a classic Old Portland-style home built in 1900 in the Johns Landing neighborhood. When owners John and Wendy Fencsak saw it in 1992, they fell in love.
