Love this home?
Welcome to The John and Sophia Carson House, an iconic Queen Anne Victorian built in 1888 and lovingly brought back to life. Known affectionately as “The Pink Lady,” this home is a rare piece of Portland’s architectural history — carefully preserved, beautifully reimagined, & ready for its next chapter. Saved from ruin through a meticulous 4 yr restoration, every inch of this home has been renewed with intention. Original craftsmanship, intricate woodwork, & ornate millwork have been faithfully restored or recreated, while modern essentials like plumbing, wiring, insulation, and systems were fully replaced. The result is a seamless blend of timeless beauty & contemporary comfort.Inside, the main level welcomes you with light-filled spaces, high ceilings, & a sense of warmth that only a historic home can offer. The living room’s graceful bay windows and restored trim celebrate 19th-century charm, while the updated kitchen — complete with custom cabinetry, designer finishes, and a generous island — invites gatherings and everyday living. 2 spacious bedrooms & 2.5 baths complete the main level, offering style and functionality in equal measure.Below, a one-bedroom apartment with its own entrance creates endless opportunities — ideal for rental income, a guest suite, or multi-generational living. Outside, fresh landscaping and a welcoming front porch provide the perfect spot to enjoy the neighborhood’s historic character.Located in Portland’s sought-after historic Lair Hill neighborhood, this home is recognized as historically significant for its architectural design & ornate details, earning its designation as a contributing property within the district. With this status, the owner was able to enroll the residence in Oregon’s Historic Preservation Plan to guide the restoration — and in doing so, secured a 10-year property tax abatement. This rare combination of architectural legacy, financial benefit, & timeless beauty makes this an extraordinary place to call home

Venkat is a very good negotiator. He was quick to respond, when I had questions. He came to all the meetings with the seller and provided valuable inputs on inspections and mortgage options. Overall, I was impressed and would love to work with him again.
— Jagathishp
Venkat is very professional and has tremendous knowledge in the real estate industry. He was always available to discuss and made time to visit the construction site several times during the course. I was looking at a new construction and had to wait for the property to be built.

Muthu has good knowledge about the community and understands the needs of his customers. He helped us sell our house in record time and followed up with the buyer and the agent until the complete closure. We received multiple offers and Muthu negotiated well and helped us decide on the buyer.
— Praveen
Venkat Muthu is a wonderful person to go with. Very friendly and advices as per the need and gives his service and support where and when needed and some times going beyond. Really happy to share the review and I highly recommend if anyone is looking for any homes.

Venkat is great to work with as realtor. He is very patient and listens to the requests of the buyer or seller and doesn’t push as t any point of time. He has a good understanding of the market situation and location for investments as well. All this comes from experience with him recently buying a home.
