1333 NW 24TH AVE
PORTLAND, OR 97210

Situated on a large corner lot in one of Portland's favorite neighborhoods, the Alphabet District, this elegant Foursquare has witnessed a rich history. Portland architect David Williams designed the home in 1904, around the time of the World's Fair in Portland. Named the 'Wilson House' after its first owner, this magnificent home experienced prohibition times hosting its own speakeasy, then was a Childrens' home in the latter part of the 20th century and now the house has been lovingly updated by the current owners and restored to its former glory. Remodeled kitchen, baths, updated heating/cooling, redesigned backyard, new parking pads, car charger 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 the home emphasize the classic beauty of the architecture, while the recent updates bring this home seamlessly into the 21st century. An added 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, just a short distance to Chapman Elementary School, Wallace Park and the trails of Forest Park in one direction, and just a block away from the restaurants, cafes and shops of NW 23rd Ave, Slabtown and Good Samaritan Hospital when you go the other way. Easy access to highways, bus lines and streetcar make getting around town a breeze. This is a wonderful home looking for the next owners to continue to write its Portland story.
