Perched on a quiet dead-end street in the historic NW Alphabet District, this exceptional residence is a rare blend of timeless grandeur and modern refinement. A long, private drive—secured by an electric gate—offers both seclusion and peace of mind, while a terraced rose garden and sweeping covered porch set a distinguished tone from the moment you arrive. Inside, the formal entry stuns with rich woodwork, custom built-ins, and original pocket doors that lead into sun-drenched living and dining rooms with soaring ceilings, walls of built-ins, a gas fireplace, and gleaming wood floors. The heart of the home is a designer chef’s kitchen, featuring a marble island, granite countertops, top-tier appliances, and a walk-through butler’s pantry. French doors open to a serene patio beneath a covered awning in this rare sunny flat backyard—fully fenced and perfect for year-round entertaining. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms and a cozy study fill the second floor, where oversized windows frame views of Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, and Portland’s city skyline. The third-floor primary suite is a true showstopper: a light-filled sanctuary with skylights, a spa-like bath, walk-in closet, and breathtaking 270-degree vistas that stretch across Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, the Cascade Range, and the twinkling downtown skyline. The finished lower level adds versatility and privacy, with a separate bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, laundry, and its own entrance—ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Tucked into one of Portland’s most walkable and beloved neighborhoods, this home boasts a Walk Score of 94 and a Bike Score of 99. You’re surrounded by top-rated schools and just blocks from local cafés, restaurants, boutiques, and cultural favorites. Miles of trails in nearby Forest Park and Wallace Park offer easy access to nature, while NW 23rd is just around the corner—blending urban energy with a peaceful, private lifestyle.

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.
