About this home.

The historic Sprague Marshall Bowie House, a registered Portland landmark in Nob Hill, offered the rare opportunity to own one of the city's oldest and most storied homes. Built in 1882 and relocated to its current site in 1904, this distinguished Italianate Victorian residence, complete with a fully permitted ADU, was meticulously remodeled to honor its architectural heritage while seamlessly incorporating refined modern updates. A grand staircase, exquisite original woodwork, crown molding, pocket doors, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and expansive bay windows speak to the home's enduring craftsmanship and elegance. Original hardwood floors and two cast iron gas fireplaces add warmth and authenticity throughout. The beautifully updated kitchen features high-end cabinetry, quartz countertops, top-tier appliances, and a wood-burning fireplace, while the renovated bathrooms showcase luxurious finishes, including Waterworks fixtures upstairs. Outside, the landscaped grounds and saltwater hot tub create a peaceful urban retreat. The fully permitted ADU, with its own updated kitchen and bathrooms, offers exceptional versatility for income potential, guests, or extended living.
