Property Description

A rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a true piece of Portland history. Built in 1904 and rich with timeless character, this one-of-a-kind residence is waiting for the next visionary to preserve its soul while creating something extraordinary. From the moment you arrive, you can feel the craftsmanship and stories woven into the home's original architecture-soaring ceilings, generous living spaces, oversized windows, and the kind of irreplaceable charm that simply cannot be recreated today. Throughout the home, the seller's incredible artistic vision is on full display, with painstakingly hand-painted walls that beautifully mimic custom wallpaper alongside striking exterior murals that make the property feel truly one of one. This is the kind of property that inspires designers, preservationists, old-house lovers, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of historic homes with substance and personality. Set on a spacious lot along iconic Willamette Blvd, the location blends classic North Portland charm with incredible convenience. Close to the University of Portland, Cathedral Park, Mississippi District, St. Johns, and downtown Portland, this central location puts some of the city's best restaurants, coffee shops, parks, and local favorites within easy reach. Nearby neighborhood staples include The Stacks Coffeehouse, Prince Coffee, Milk Glass Mrkt, The Old Gold, and Tartuca. Outdoor lovers will appreciate proximity to Peninsula Park, Arbor Lodge Park, and the iconic views from Skidmore Bluffs. While preserving the home's remarkable character, Key foundational items have already been addressed, including a professionally decommissioned oil tank and a sewer scope completed in May with a passing report. Opportunities like this rarely come along. Whether your vision leans toward thoughtful restoration, architectural preservation, or creating a truly spectacular legacy property, this historic beauty is ready for its next chapter. Cash or hard money- not financeable.
