No. 8 occupies a portion of the second floor of this architecturally significant building, accessible via the grand original staircase or modern elevator—completely step-free once inside. The home features a gracious circular layout ideal for both entertaining and comfortable daily living, with stunning wood double-hung windows that frame easterly city views and the magnificent stained glass of St. Mary’s Cathedral across the street. Adding to the home’s unique character is a delightful curved staircase that ascends partway into the ceiling, creating an enchanting built-in display area perfect for books, art, or treasured collections. This architectural curiosity adds both visual interest and functional storage while showcasing the building’s original Victorian details.This well-maintained historic property benefits from recent exterior restoration and roof replacement, overseen by a small, efficiently managed HOA with plenty of financial reserves. Only ten homes in the HOA! Residents enjoy designated parking in a secure area with gated access at Davis and 18th Streets, plus the charming tradition of “Cocktails on the Veranda” gatherings on the welcoming front porch. An exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Portland history while enjoying modern convenience in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods.
