A rare opportunity in Northwest Portland’s coveted Alphabet District where timeless history meets modern luxury and sophistication. Originally built in 1905, this residence was meticulously renovated and expanded just a few years ago with over 1,000 square feet of new construction, seamlessly blending old-world character with contemporary luxury. Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the thoughtful design and refined finishes that set this home apart: Two Primary Suites both upstairs, each offering spa-like bathrooms, radiant floor heating, and custom closets. One features a steam shower, creating a true retreat. Entertainer’s Kitchen anchored by a 12-foot island, professional-grade appliances, and an elegant indoor-outdoor flow through folding glass doors that open to a manicured backyard and deck. Luxury Details Everywhere: custom closet systems, radiant floors in all three full upstairs baths, hardwood floors, and designer lighting throughout. Flexible Lower Level with its own exterior access, kitchen, and bedroom, this space is perfect for a nanny suite, in-law apartment, guest quarters, or conversion to a full ADU (plans available). Parking for Three — one car in the attached garage, one in the driveway, plus eligibility (per PBOT) for a permitted street space. A rare amenity in this neighborhood. Beyond the home itself, enjoy the best of Northwest Portland just outside your door: two blocks to the shops and restaurants of NW 23rd, Wallace Park and Chapman School right across the street, and a short stroll to incredible urban hiking in Forest Park. With quick access to downtown and major freeways, the location is as practical as it is prestigious. This home is a perfect blend of history, comfort, and modern livability. An exceptional residence in one of Portland’s most desirable neighborhoods. [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10235262]
