The Historic Ambassador Condominiums is a National Historic Landmark building designed by Architect Carl Linde in 1922. Known for its elegant Jacobean architecture, coupled with steel-reinforced concrete construction, it has been one of Portland's most prestigious addresses for over a century. Unit 503, is a light-filled NW corner unit with newer double-paned windows on THREE sides of the unit. The seller upgraded the windows to double-pane, with historically accurate French panes, which bathes the interiors in natural light as well as capture views of the Historic Architecture surrounding the building. Only one wall is shared with a neighbor, combined with the steel & concrete construction, which means this is an incredibly private condominium. Unit 503 retains the original high-style architectural details including oak hardwood floors, extra tall base moldings, 9-foot ceilings trimmed with stacked crown molding, & extensive built-ins. The kitchen received a slight refresh with a sleek glass-top induction cooktop & newer lower cabinets. The primary bedroom boasts an en-suite bath. A full bath in the hall serves the other two bedrooms. Leave the car in the secure, off-street space, which is a leased space for $250/Mo. Heat & hot water are included in the monthly dues, as well as garbage, water, sewer,& reserves.
