220 NW 17th Ave #3, Portland, OR 97209

Two blocks from the Pearl District and six blocks from NW 23rd, the A.H. Moore House and More House project is exactly the kind of cool renovation that you've been looking for--not the sterile box of Pearl condos or a sagging NW Craftsmen broken into weird units, this building is everything a renovated classic should be. We started with a single-family home built in 1905 and owned by A.H. Moore, bank president--until he ruined his bank and had to sell the house to make amends. Turned into a boarding house in 1937, and run as a single-room-occupancy 12-unit apartment until last year, we bought it to return it to its former grandeur. We're a pair of small Portland developers known for our atmospheric buildings, and we closely oversaw total renovations of every system in the building from plumbing to electric to insulation to soundproofing--and turned the house into a model for small, unique upscale urban housing. All units in the main building and annex rented faster than the city can drain it's reservoirs. The spacious one-bedroom is located in a daylight basement with its own entrance and features stained-concrete floors, period lighting, stainless appliances, custom cabinets, super-cool fixtures and appointments and everything else that you could possibly want. The entire project was envisioned in the steam-punk mode that blends 19th century Victorian styling with post-industrialism. Grow an ironic moustache and start calling this home! Close to yoga studios (there's one next door), breweries, cafes, bakeries, great restaurants, nightlife, Powell's books, the Crystal Ballroom, Whole Foods, downtown offices, and a thousand other things you want to do in Portland, and with great freeway access for escapes out of town, this unit will go quickly. 1634 NW Everett (next to 220 NW 17th and on same lot) Available April 1.
