Beautiful 1920s light-filled top floor corner unit in the heart of Portland. This unique studio layout provides an entryway separate from the spacious living area. The only neighbors are below and on a small section of one wall. Exciting views and the building’s juxtaposition provide for a spectacular feeling of a home in the clouds. The condo’s South-facing direction guarantees a full-day experience of sunshine or weather watching. It features original tile and hardwood floors, and has a full laundry room in the unit. Kitchen and living room windows allow for an airy crossflow that is unmatched by other units in the Alphabet District. Building offers elevator, secure entry, bike room, and original details throughout. This historic converted hotel has renovations well underway, with plans for important updates to preserve the Empress’s structural integrity and attend to it’s cosmetic upkeep. Major projects that have been recently completed are a new roof and new plumbing. To-code electricity is nearly complete. The Owner’s Association Board has carefully assessed and articulated future agendas for maintenance timelines and expenses. Owners will not be caught off-guard by the stewardship responsibilities that come with the good fortune of living in such a time capsule. Close to I-405 but surprisingly quiet relative to bustling city sounds. This location is a commuter’s dream: public transit within blocks, PBOT parking permit is Zone K (lower than nearby Nob Hill/23rd), quick access to freeways in all directions. Steps from The Pearl, Powells, Providence park, NW 23rd, restaurants and shopping. Ten-minute walk to world-famous Forest park provides endless miles of hiking. Near Portland Japanese and Rose Gardens, Washington Park Zoo, and Waterfront Park. Basement storage unit and appliances are included. Since 2021 this home has been a mid-term rental for an average $1600/month. Purchasing furnished is an option.

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.
