MOVE-IN SPECIAL: $1,000 off first months rent
There is something special about finding an actual house in the middle of NW PDX, and this one has character you simply won't find in a newer apartment or townhome. Built in 1886, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath Victorian pairs original architectural details with thoughtful updates, all in one of Portland's most walkable neighborhoods.
Inside, warm wood floors, tall ceilings, oversized windows, classic millwork and charming built-ins give the main level a personality all its own. The updated kitchen features white cabinetry extending all the way to the ceiling, subway tile, stone counters, a farmhouse sink and stainless steel appliances, with comfortable living and dining spaces nearby and a beautiful bay window bringing even more character to the home.
Downstairs, the expansive finished basement adds an impressive amount of flexible living space. With its own private side entrance, full bathroom, laundry area and multiple open areas, there is plenty of room for a home office, media room, workout or hobby space, guests, or simply extra room to spread out.
Outside may be one of the biggest surprises. The home has a beautiful private backyard surrounded by mature trees and established greeneryan especially rare find this close to downtown Portland. The home is also pet-friendly, making that outdoor space an even bigger bonus for four-legged members of the household. The yard is partially fenced, and there is additional outdoor storage as well.
The location is hard to beat. Set in the heart of NW PDX near the Pearl District and NW 23rd, groceries, coffee, restaurants, shopping, parks, bike routes and public transportation are all close at hand. New Seasons is right down Raleigh, and everything from a quick coffee or dinner out to everyday errands can easily be part of the neighborhood routine.
For anyone who loves the energy and convenience of city living but still wants the space and privacy of an actual house, 1945 NW Raleigh offers a combination that's becoming increasingly hard to find: historic Portland character, a huge finished basement, a private yard and a pet-friendly home right in the middle of NW PDX.
