Welcome to 2373 NW Johnson St, a masterfully restored 1888 Victorian in the heart of one of Portland’s most coveted neighborhoods. Just steps from the vibrant shops and restaurants of NW 23rd Ave, this historic gem blends timeless charm with high-end modern living. Inside, you'll find soaring 11-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors on the main level, and beautifully updated finishes throughout. Natural light pours through the large windows, softened by custom shades on every window. Thoughtfully curated lighting—including handmade ceramic lighting fixtures from DeVOL, along with fixtures from Rejuvenation and Design Within Reach—adds warmth and sophistication to every room. Perhaps most impressive is the addition of central air conditioning—a rare amenity in a historic home. The partially finished basement includes a laundry room and offers the potential for a home office, gym, or media room. Outside, a freshly landscaped backyard provides a quiet retreat, making it easy to forget you're in the heart of the city. The sellers are to gift a reserved space for 1-year at a nearby apt lot so buyers can avoid street parking. With a recently serviced HVAC system, newly cleaned roof, new sewer line, electrical updates, and fresh interior paint, this home is truly move-in ready. Rich in character and full of modern comforts, this one-of-a-kind Victorian is a rare find in Portland’s beloved Northwest District.Buyers, take advantage of a NO COST RATE BUY DOWN with our preferred lender—enjoy a lower mortgage rate for the first year, saving you money upfront!

RM2
Residential Multi-Dwelling 2 zone
The RM2 zone is a medium-scale multi-dwelling zone that is generally applied in and around a variety of centers and corridors that are well-served by transit. Allowed housing is characterized by buildings of up to three or four stories with a higher percentage of building coverage than in the RM1 zone, while still providing opportunities for landscaping and outdoor spaces that integrate with residential neighborhood characteristics. The major types of new housing development will be a diverse range of multi-dwelling structures and other compact housing that contribute to the intended urban scale of centers and corridors, while providing transitions in scale and characteristics to lower-scale residential neighborhoods.
