2255 NW Irving St, Portland, OR 97210

Welcome to the Historic Shemanski house, built in 1908 for influential Portland business man, Joseph Shemanski. Designed by well-known Portland Architect Emil Schacht, it was later converted to the Irving House Condominiums. This light and open main floor unit with 9-foot ceilings includes the formal living room with fireplace, the formal dining room with box-beam ceilings & pocket doors, and an updated kitchen and luxurious master bath with heated floors. Careful attention was made to preserve the turn-of-the-century details throughout top-nailed oak and fir floors, heavy crown molding in the living and dining rooms, and wainscoting and plate rails in the dining room. The true-to-period-styled thermal pane windows let light flood the interior, highlighting the richness of the woodwork, restored by the Pittock Mansion restorer and all of the original hardware re-plated in brass. This unit has the exclusive use the entire driveway, allowing one to take advantage of all of the amenities the NW has to offer. Located in the heart of the Historic Alphabet District, a few blocks to the Streetcar, public library, parks, cafes and world-renowned boutique shopping.
