Welcome to 2341 NW Overton Street—affectionately known as the “Crayola Crayon” rowhouses.
Built in 1992, these iconic and instantly recognizable homes have become a beloved architectural
staple in one of Portland’s most coveted neighborhoods—and notably, they come with no monthly
HOA fee but instead a small annual HOA fee. Just steps from the vibrant charm of NW 23rd
Avenue, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy upscale boutiques, destination restaurants,
neighborhood cafés, Wallace Park and its popular off-leash dog area, Trader Joe’s, New Seasons,
and the expansive trail system of Forest Park. Whether it’s morning coffee, an afternoon stroll, or
a weekend hike, everything you love about city living with a touch of nature is right outside your
door. Each residence offers its own private, tuck-under extra-deep garage, a backyard with deck
for relaxing or entertaining, and soaring 18-foot ceilings that flood the interiors with natural light
and create a dramatic sense of space. The thoughtful layout blends comfort and functionality
with architectural character you simply won’t find in a typical townhome. Add a little color to
your world and experience the energy, convenience, and timeless appeal of a Crayola Crayon
rowhouse.
The foyer flows effortlessly into the living and dining areas, where a wood-burning gas
fireplace with a classic tile surround anchors the space with warmth and charm. Newer wall-to
wall carpeting (2024) adds a soft, refreshed feel underfoot, while sliding glass doors open to a
beautifully appointed deck—creating a seamless connection for easy indoor-outdoor living and
al fresco dining.
The deck—approximately 14' x 15'—offers a generous, versatile outdoor retreat, perfect for
morning coffee in the sun, unwinding in the evening, or seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining.
The main level of the rowhouse features a bright, open-concept layout where the living room,
dining area, and kitchen flow effortlessly together—creating an inviting space ideal for both
everyday living and entertaining.
The kitchen showcases LVP flooring, recessed-panel cabinetry with soft-close drawers, and sleek
quartz countertops—new in 2025—while the freshly painted cabinetry (2026) adds a bright,
refreshed feel.
The kitchen comes fully equipped with a stainless steel freestanding gas range with a griddle
feature and built-in microwave with hood by LG. A freestanding refrigerator from Whirlpool
features a built-in water and ice dispenser. There is also a stainless steel Bosch dishwasher and
large stainless steel extra deep sink that anchors the space. Designed with connection in mind,
the kitchen opens effortlessly to the dining and living areas—allowing conversation to flow
freely and ensuring the chef is always part of the gathering.
Adjacent to the kitchen, you’ll find a convenient main-level half bath along with a cozy office
or den—ideal for working from home or curling up with a good book. This inviting space
features wall-to-wall carpet, and two large double-hung windows that flood the room with
natural light and offer charming views of the beautiful historic NW neighborhood.
Ascend the stairs to the second floor. This
bright and airy space boasts 18-foot ceilings with
a skylight overhead flooding the landing with
natural light. Recessed lighting and matching
sconces along the hallway add a refined touch,
while an abundance of natural light keeps the
area feeling crisp and inviting. Carpeted floors
lead the way to the guest bedroom on the right.
The guest bedroom is both bright and
inviting, featuring plush carpeting, 8-foot
ceilings, and south-facing windows that fill
the space with natural light while offering
pleasant neighborhood views. A generous
double closet provides ample storage, and the
attached full bathroom is well-appointed with
a shower/tub combination, tile countertop
vanity, and convenient under-sink storage.
At the opposite end of the hall, the primary bedroom offers a quiet, private retreat. Centrally
positioned between the two bedrooms, the laundry room adds everyday convenience.
Overhead, a skylight fills the hallway with natural light and is equipped with a remote
controlled blind—perfect for managing warmth and light on sunnier days.
The primary suite offers wall-to-wall carpet, 8-foot ceilings, and serene north-facing views
over NW Portland. A ceiling fan with an integrated light adds both comfort and convenience.
The generously sized 14' x 12' primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed along
with nightstands, multiple dressers, or even a desk—offering exceptional space and flexibility.
Attached to the primary is a spacious walk-in closet and an attached full bath. The closet is
thoughtfully outfitted with multiple organizers and hanging racks to keep everything neatly
arranged. The full bathroom features a built-in double sink tile vanity and a shower/tub
combination—offering both comfort and functionality.
Return to the main level via the staircase, where just off the kitchen, a second set of stairs
provides direct access to the garage and lower level.
Below the main level of the rowhouse is an exceptionally deep garage, stretching an impressive
39.5 feet and encompassing approximately 781 square feet. This expansive space easily
accommodates multiple vehicles with room to spare. At the rear of the garage, you’ll find an
unfinished bonus room measuring approximately 14' x 11'—ideal for storage, a studio, workshop,
or home gym.
Through the room at the back of the garage, you’ll discover a lovely backyard—an ideal setting
for a dog run or a quiet spot to relax and soak up the sun on a warm NW Portland summer’s
day.
In addition to the garage parking, this rowhouse offers two dedicated off-street spaces in its
private front driveway—an uncommon and highly valuable feature in NW Portland. The roof
was replaced in 2023, providing added peace of mind. Charming plantings and thoughtfully
tended garden beds frame the entry, lovingly maintained by the owners and enhancing the
warm, neighborly character of the beloved “Crayola Crayon” Overton rowhouses.
