Located in the historic Sunnyside neighborhood, adjacent to Ladd’s Addition, this distinguished 1896 residence embodies the timeless character of a Craftsman-influenced Portland Foursquare. Its front-gable roofline, wide overhanging eaves, and broad covered porch reflect early Portland craftsmanship, complemented by original millwork and magnificent basalt stonework. The basalt used on the front porch and we believe the fireplace is the same material used at the Pittock Mansion, highlighting the quality of construction and materials of the era.Inside, generous proportions, period details, and abundant natural light create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The home features a historically significant layout, including a rear bedroom that originally served as servant quarters, with its own exterior entrance and private staircase to the kitchen. The main interior staircase separates at the first landing, with a narrower service stair leading directly to the kitchen, allowing discreet movement between levels. Original wall doors allowed portions of the home—including the kitchen, dining room, and living areas—to be closed off, reflecting the formal living patterns of the period.The upper level offers additional flexibility for potential ADU, guest quarters, or private living space with a separate exterior entrance (buyer to verify). Situated on a tree-lined street near Ladd’s Addition’s iconic gardens and park blocks, this property blends historic integrity with modern potential.Known as the Leslie M. Scott House and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this American Craftsman bungalow was built in 1910 by local contractor Arthur Arand using natural materials throughout. Notable features include a full-width stone porch, decorative rafter tails, bay projections, stained-glass interior doors, and a large stone fireplace. Former home of Leslie M. Scott, longtime editor and vice president of The Oregonian and former Oregon State Treasurer. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10244227]

Venkat is a very good negotiator. He was quick to respond, when I had questions. He came to all the meetings with the seller and provided valuable inputs on inspections and mortgage options. Overall, I was impressed and would love to work with him again.

— Jagathishp

Venkat is very professional and has tremendous knowledge in the real estate industry. He was always available to discuss and made time to visit the construction site several times during the course. I was looking at a new construction and had to wait for the property to be built.

— Vignesh Chan

Muthu has good knowledge about the community and understands the needs of his customers. He helped us sell our house in record time and followed up with the buyer and the agent until the complete closure. We received multiple offers and Muthu negotiated well and helped us decide on the buyer.

— Praveen

Venkat Muthu is a wonderful person to go with. Very friendly and advices as per the need and gives his service and support where and when needed and some times going beyond. Really happy to share the review and I highly recommend if anyone is looking for any homes.

— Alishetty

Venkat is great to work with as realtor. He is very patient and listens to the requests of the buyer or seller and doesn’t push as t any point of time. He has a good understanding of the market situation and location for investments as well. All this comes from experience with him recently buying a home.
