507 NW 22nd Ave, #207
Portland, OR
Welcome to 507 NW 22nd Avenue, also known as the Villa Florence. This beautiful coveted stucco building has anchored the corner of NW 22nd Avenue and Glisan since 1925. Each residence lives like a classic Craftsman home, rich with architectural detail and historic charm. The location is truly exceptional—positioned between NW 23rd and NW 21st Avenues in the heart of the National Historic Alphabet District. The Villa Florence has recently completed a major building-wide plumbing upgrade which has been fully paid for—an uncommon advantage among larger historic condominium properties in the neighborhood. This unit also includes one highly desirable deeded parking space. Enter the building via keypad entry and ascend the stairs to the second floor. Your journey up the steps is a sensory delight with age old craftsman millwork such as
wainscotting, crown molding, craftsman banisters and windows. At the top of the stairs, the first door on the right leads to Unit 207. Inside, a welcoming foyer greets you with hardwood floors, crown molding, and substantial craftsman millwork. The foyer opens to a gracious 20'x14' living room featuring hardwood floors, picture rail molding, and two substantial wood bookshelves—perfect for displaying books and collected pieces. These built-ins flank newer double-hung, double-pane, east-facing windows that bathe the space in warm morning light and offer views of the surrounding historic neighborhood. Tucked into one corner is a generous 6' x 3' double closet, ideal for storing seasonal wardrobes and additional belongings. Adjacent to the living room is the dining room. The dining room showcases picture rail molding, chunky craftsman millwork, and a large double-hung, double-pane window that fills the space with natural light. Two charming original built-in cabinets with glass casement doors provide the perfect place to display and store fine glassware/dishware and other valuable items.
Just off the dining room, the kitchen features some lovely original hex tile countertops and wood cabinetry, along with an electric stove, freestanding refrigerator, and a newer, extra quiet stainless steel Bosch dishwasher. Full of vintage charm, the space offers an efficient layout that makes good use of every square foot. Back through the living room and attached to the foyer is the full bathroom and sizable
bedroom. Just off the foyer is a generously sized 3' x 5' front hall closet— perfect for everyday shoes, coats, and jackets. The spacious 9' x 5' full bathroom features charming
original hex tile flooring, a handsome Kohler pedestal sink,
and an original built-in vanity with mirror. A shower/tub combo with a classic subway tile surround and stainless steel fixtures completes the space, while a privacy-glass
window invites in natural light and fresh air without sacrificing discretion. Adjacent to the full bathroom is a generously sized 13' x 12' primary bedroom featuring
hardwood floors and picture rail molding. A large double-hung, double pane window with a newer top-down/bottom-up blind provides natural light and privacy, while a
ceiling fan with integrated lighting adds comfort.
The room also includes a spacious 7' x 3' closet, large enough to comfortably accommodate two people’s wardrobes. Well-proportioned, the bedroom easily fits a
king-sized bed with room to spare for nightstands, and offers additional space for a desk and or multiple dressers. In the lower level of the building is a secured dedicated 5' x 8' storage unit (P), bike storage and laundry room. Outside and directly adjacent to the building is a deeded parking space in a highly coveted location in the lot, space #2. If you’re seeking a residence that blends historic charm with updated plumbing, an A+ location, exceptional walk score and a deeded parking, look no further, Unit 207 at the Villa Florence delivers!
