1209 SW 6TH AVE

Step back into the elegance of Portland’s golden age at the Historic Ambassador, one of downtown Portland’s most iconic and architecturally significant residences. Designed by renowned architect Carl L. Linde in 1923, this stately Jacobean-style building evokes the feeling of a classic Upper West Side Manhattan apartment house tucked quietly into the heart of Portland. From the moment you arrive beneath the cast stone entry and pass through the impeccably maintained courtyard, you’re transported to another era of gracious pre-war living where parquet floors, wrought iron railings, mirrored French doors, brass accents and richly detailed millwork create an atmosphere that feels worlds away from ordinary condo living. Unit #506 features hardwood floors, soaring 9-foot ceilings, stacked crown moldings, picture rail details, tall baseboards and abundant original charm throughout. The spacious living room is filled with natural light from oversized south-facing windows and flows seamlessly into the elegant formal dining room with original built-ins and chandelier. The kitchen retains its historic character with parquet floors, shaker-style cabinetry and original built-ins. Residents enjoy a stunning rooftop deck with rose gardens and panoramic city views, reservable guest suite, bike storage, dedicated storage unit and beautifully maintained common areas. No rental cap. Parking space #7 is leased monthly. The location is nothing short of exceptional. With a Walk Score of 99 and Transit Score of 94, daily errands rarely require a car. Step outside your front door to Portland’s vibrant Cultural District with the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Portland Art Museum, theaters, coffee shops, cocktail bars, restaurants, farmers markets, grocery stores and MAX access all just moments away. It’s the kind of neighborhood where evenings are spent strolling tree-lined streets to dinner or a concert and weekends unfold exploring all Portland has to offer.
