Situated on an ample corner lot in Portland's beloved Alphabet District, this elegant Classic Foursquare was designed by renowned architect David Williams. Named the 'Wilson House' after its first owner, this magnificent home has been lovingly updated by the current owners and restored to its former glory. Remodeled kitchen, baths, updated heating/cooling, re-designed backyard and much more - this home is improved and updated where it counts!
The inviting front porch, tall, coved ceilings, beautiful wood floors and original woodwork throughout emphasize the classic beauty of the architecture, while the recent updates bring this home seamlessly into the 21st century.
A bonus is the full basement with plenty of storage, a spacious workshop, side entrance, and the well-kept secret of the house - the remains of the original speakeasy from the 1920's.
The location is hard to beat, perched above NW 24th Ave and Pettygrove, with a walk score of 97. It is just moments away from Chapman Elementary School, Wallace Park, and the trails of Forest Park, as well as the vibrant NW 23rd Ave with its array of restaurants, cafes, and shops. Good Samaritan Hospital and convenient access to highways, bus lines, and the streetcar network ensure effortless city living. This remarkable property is ready for its next chapter, inviting new owners to make their own memories in one of Portland's most coveted neighborhoods.
