This Oregon property offers an ideal opportunity to pretend you’re the president you’d like to see in the Oval Office.
In Portland’s Northeast quadrant, a convincing replica of Washington D.C.’s 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. has sat in homage to the official building for over 113 years.
Although it may look like a tourist attraction, the just under 10,000-square-foot edifice is a residential estate, and it’s now looking for a new owner.
Originally built for the lumber baron Robert F. Lytle in 1911, the home may be an imitation but it’s one done with enough panache and quality that it’s featured on the National Historic Registry.
“The carefully preserved architectural detail is remarkable,” said Mark Graalum of Cascade Hasson Sotheby’s International Realty, who represents the $3 million listing.
Lytle, Graalum added, adored quality carpentry and “his love of woodwork remains on full display.”
Highlights of the house’s millwork include “irreplaceable” quarter-sawn oak floors with mahogany inlays, original mahogany casework and never-painted box beamed ceilings with crown moldings, Mansion Global first reported.
Other original details include three Venetian glass chandeliers, multiple murals, gold-leaf crown moldings and, throughout the compound, dentil molding.
The exterior of the Greek Revival-style abode is defined by a red tile roof and six imposing Corinthian columns worthy of a president — and certainly an unelected homeowner.
There are nine bedrooms (six on the upper level of the main house and three in an adjacent carriage house), all with ensuite baths, and three additional powder rooms.
All 12 of the bathrooms boast Carrera marble stonework and true-to-period plumbing fixtures that were last restored in 2018.
There’s also a formal parlor, a grand lobby, a wine cellar and a walk-in refrigerator in the main house — not to mention manicured gardens surrounding it.
“The home was and remains (inflation adjusted) the most expensive home constructed in Portland’s Irvington District,” Graalum told The Post.
