Designed in 1912 by Architect Josef Jacobberger, the Giesy/Failing House is a stunning blend of Craftsman and Arts and Crafts styles, offering an unparalleled sense of grandeur. Ideally located in the coveted West Hills on 1.55 acres, this property features steep intersecting gabled roofs, a cantilevered stucco second floor, and exquisite wrought-iron detailing. The distinguished arched glass and wrought-iron canopy at the entrance sets the tone for the home’s stately interiors. Inside, the high ceilings throughout, wood paneling, leaded glass windows, intricate moldings, and multiple fireplaces create an atmosphere of timeless sophistication. With five bedrooms, four full and two half bathrooms, and expansive living spaces — including a grand foyer, sunroom, library, formal dining room, and recently remodeled kitchen — this residence seamlessly blends architectural heritage with modern convenience. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and located on a dead-end street just minutes from parks, trails, the city, major hospitals, schools and high tech, this is a rare opportunity to own a true Portland landmark.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
