(503) 893-8874Open Sat Nov 8th from 10:30am - 12:30pm! Welcome to The John and Sophia Carlson House, an iconic Queen Anne Victorian built in 1888 and lovingly brought back to life. Known affectionately as “The Pink Lady,” this home is a rare piece of Portland’s architectural history — carefully preserved, beautifully reimagined, & ready for its next chapter. Saved from ruin through a meticulous 4 yr restoration, every inch of this home has been renewed with intention. Original craftsmanship, intricate woodwork, & ornate millwork have been faithfully restored or recreated, while modern essentials like plumbing, wiring, insulation, and systems were fully replaced. The result is a seamless blend of timeless beauty & contemporary comfort.Inside, the main level welcomes you with light-filled spaces, high ceilings, & a sense of warmth that only a historic home can offer. The living room’s graceful bay windows and restored trim celebrate 19th-century charm, while the updated kitchen — complete with custom cabinetry, designer finishes, and a generous island — invites gatherings and everyday living. 2 spacious bedrooms & 2.5 baths complete the main level, offering style and functionality in equal measure.Below, a one-bedroom apartment with its own entrance creates endless opportunities — ideal for rental income, a guest suite, or multi-generational living. Outside, fresh landscaping and a welcoming front porch provide the perfect spot to enjoy the neighborhood’s historic character.Located in Portland’s sought-after historic Lair Hill neighborhood, this home is recognized as historically significant for its architectural design & ornate details, earning its designation as a contributing property within the district. With this status, the owner was able to enroll the residence in Oregon’s Historic Preservation Plan to guide the restoration — and in doing so, secured a 10-year property tax abatement. This is a rare combination of architectural legacy, financial benefit, & timeless beauty.
