Known as the ‘Wilson House’ after its first owner Robert W. Wilson this grand Portland home was designed by Portland Architect David William in 1904.
Situated in a fantastic location in one of Portland’s favorite neighborhoods, the Alphabet District, this stately Foursquare is part of Portland’s history.
From elegant family home in the World Fair Aera through prohibition times with its own speakeasy to being a childrens’ home in the latter part of the 20th century this home has now lovingly been updated by the current owners and restored to its former glory.
A grand inviting front porch, tall coved ceilings, beautiful wood floors and original woodwork throughout the house emphasize the classic beauty of the architecture, while the recent updates bring this home seamlessly into the 21st century.
New kitchen, baths, heating/cooling, backyard re-designed, new parking pads, car charger and much more… this home is improved and remodeled where it counts!
The cherry on the cake is the basement with plenty of storage, an area big enough for a workshop and the well-kept secret of the house, the remains of a speakeasy from 1920’s, complete with the engravings of the patrons of the time.
The location is hard to beat, perched above NW 24th and Pettygrove, with a walk score of 97, in short distance to Chapman elementary school and Wallace Park, just a block away from the restaurants and shops of NW 23rd Ave and Good Samaritan Hospital. Both NW Pettygrove and NW 24th are part of the Neighborhood Greenways System, and bus lines and streetcar close by make getting around town a breeze. This is a wonderful home looking for the next owners to continue to write its Portland story.
