2424 NW Northrup St Portland, OR 97210

Open 5/31 12-2 & 6/1 12-2. Presented to market restored as originally built, as a single-family residence, for the first time in almost 50 years! Originally designed and built by prominent Architect William Christmas Knighton for himself! Knighton was gaining notoriety as one of the state's premier architects, acknowledged by Governor Oswald West when Knighton was commissioned to design Portland's Historic Governor Hotel (now The Sentinel) in 1909. Many of Knighton's designs have stood the test of time and 2424 Northrup is no different. The history of this home is deep. Like many grand residences during the Depression, it was condensed into a rooming house, and later a duplex. When the current owners saw the integrity and original architectural details they dreamt of a restoration that would make the original architect proud. They enlisted the help of mater restoration experts, JDL. Together they infused the home with Knighton-esque architectural details. Today it is difficult to discern what is new VS original. Taking inspiration from the original window profiles, they had new window banks recreated with custom, double-pane windows. They also incorporated Knighton's love for geometric shapes when putting in the new staircase, connecting the main floor to the second story for the first time in 5 decades. They repeated this detail on the kitchen porch railing, ensuring the exterior details echoed Knighton's hallmarks. The level, fully fenced, back yard has been lovingly maintained with lush, mature plantings. A level lawn is bordered by blooming shrubs and perennials. An entertaining deck is located just off the kitchen, and has a dedicated gas line for convenient year-round barbecuing. The sunny, south-exposure bathes the back yard in sun. Original 1-car garage+ a big unfinished basement offers unlimited storage. Located on a 5,000 SF Lot just 2 blocks to NW 23rd conveniences.
