I finally had a chance to pop by and tour the very last Williams Five Condo unit for sale. The units are placed with 3 living spaces in the back/side of the building and 2 live/work spaces in the front. The front and main floor of each of the units have a large floor to ceiling glass sliding doors that would be amazing to throw open on a warm spring day. There are unique metal grates that make up a portion of the flooring between the first and second floors to allow air flow from the slider area and to allow heat from the concrete floors to flow upwards on cold days. The interior didn’t sound very large on paper but the high ceilings and the multi use spaces make it feel like it would live much larger. There is a lot of light pouring in, I visited on a rainy day (no surprise being in Portland) and it was still very bright despite the dark and stormy clouds. The top floor is the living space which is nice to have separated from the multi use areas and the dining areas. The units are off of the street so they are quiet. There is not much room between the front doors so it would be good to get to know the neighbors since you will most likely share outdoor space when it gets warmer.
Designed and built by PATH Architecture, Williams Five Condominiums were also the winner of the 2009 AIA Mayor’s Award for Design Excellence.
Located at 5226 N Williams this unit has 2 beds, 2 baths and 1,516 sq ft of living space with a walk score of 83. The current asking price is $279k.
