Built in 1906 and designed by architect William P. Lewis, this nearly 5,000-square-foot Portland Heights estate was once home to Dorothy Lee, Portland's first female mayor. The original wood floors she walked on, the gracious staircases she descended, and the grand spaces where she hosted the city's most prominent citizens are all still here, waiting for their next chapter. To build something like this today would cost millions. This is not a replica of history. It is history.Step inside and the craftsmanship speaks for itself: soaring ceilings, intricate period moldings and paneling, beautiful original built-in cabinets, and a stunning staircase that sweeps from the first floor all the way up to a third-story ballroom with its own bath, perfect for hosting on a grand scale. The original swing-out milk window in the kitchen still charms. Two cast-iron double sinks anchor a chef's kitchen elevated by a beautiful Ilve Majestic range with brass accents. Heated marble tile floors in the primary suite bath will keep your feet warm on chilly Portland mornings and evenings.Four bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths. A large wraparound deck for quiet mornings with coffee and pastries. At night, the towering Douglas firs in the backyard glow under landscape lighting, creating a magical backdrop. Recent seller investments include refinished wood floors, a whole house backup generator, and a gated security system.Zupan's Market is steps down the hill, NW 23rd's beloved restaurants and cafés are minutes away, and the Portland Rose Garden and Washington Park arboretum trails are practically at your doorstep. Walk to Providence Park for a match or a concert. The Oregon Coast and Mt. Hood are both an easy drive away.A home of rare character in a location that defines classic Portland living. A legacy property for someone ready to steward something truly special into its next chapter. [Home Energy Score = 2. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10011318]

Some properties which appear for sale on this web site may subsequently have sold or may no longer be available.
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.
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.
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.
