Property Description

Rarely does a residence offer the very best of Portland in a single address—architectural significance, breathtaking panoramic skyline and mountain views, immediate access to Forest Park, proximity to the city's premier public and private schools, and a coveted location just minutes from the boutiques, restaurants, and cafés of NW 23rd Avenue. Designed by renowned architect Ellis F. Lawrence, this extraordinary Mediterranean Revival residence is more than a home—it is a piece of Portland's architectural heritage. Thoughtfully preserved and tastefully updated, it seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. The updated kitchen features stainless steel gas appliances and heated floors that lead to the dining room and deck. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is joined by four additional bedrooms, providing exceptional flexibility for families. A newly finished, walkout lower level offers a private one-bedroom guest suite with its own entrance and covered patio—ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests or a workspace. Expansive living spaces—including the elegant living room, sunroom, formal dining room, and view deck—capture sweeping vistas that stretch across the Portland skyline to Mount Adams and beyond. By day, the ever-changing mountain panorama creates a stunning backdrop; by night, the city transforms into a dazzling display of lights rarely found in a private residence. Lovingly maintained and enhanced with updated plumbing and electrical systems while preserving its original architectural character, this exceptional property offers a rare balance of historic significance and contemporary livability. Opportunities to acquire an architecturally important residence of this caliber are exceedingly rare. More than a home, this is a legacy property—one to be treasured for generations and an enduring part of Portland. [Home Energy Score = 1.
