It's everything we love about Portland! An iconic, NW Contemporary home, custom-built and designed by the owner-architect, on a 4+acre parcel of land, 20 minutes from Nike and Intel, 20 minutes from NW District/Slabtown's famed restaurants and shopping, 20 minutes from downtown Pdx, and minutes from Forest Park's acres and acres of beautiful, wooded hiking, biking and walking trails! This custom-built gem-of-a-home perfectly captures the essence of NW Contemporary architecture with its stained, vertical grain siding, metal roof, vaulted ceilings, walls of windows, natural wood trim, and an open yet cozy layout. Thoughtful, recent updates, including a beautifully remodeled primary bathroom, refinished hardwood floors, all new interior and exterior painting and refurbished decking, blend seamlessly with original finishes. Designed to fit and take in the surrounding landscape, the home is surrounded by covered and uncovered deck space, with opportunities for private, year-round enjoyment of the outdoors from every room. Cleared space around the home, featuring low-lying, mature landscape, a sprawling lawn and a handful of fruit trees and blueberry bushes (with room for many more!) allows natural light to permeate interior living spaces...all without sacrificing an ounce of privacy! Wooded areas in front and back lend tremendous privacy, peaceful outlooks, and all kinds of space for trails, forts, hobbies and more!

Love nature and privacy, but like the convenience and sense of community that close-in city living has to offer, too? Look no further! This unicorn of a home is located on a quiet, charming street in SW Portland's desirable Hillsdale neighborhood, steps from multiple popular shopping and dining venues, grocery stores, public library, and elementary, middle and high schools, and positioned just-so on a large, treed lot to command privacy on all sides w/ unimpeded views of nature. This fabulous find has a pretty dreamy floor plan, too! Open yet cozy. Spacious yet intimate. A floor plan that works as perfectly for one as it does for many w/ great storage t/o for all your hobbies and outdoor pursuits! Main floor features an inviting entry w/ soaring ceilings and skylights, a spacious primary (w/ vaulted ceiling, ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet), remodeled kitchen w/ informal dining area open to the living rm (w/ vaulted ceiling and new gas fireplace), formal dining, and guest powder rm. The finished, daylight lower-level features tall ceilings t/o, two more bedrooms (each w/ its own bathroom), family rm w/ wet-bar, and a huge bonus rm offering all sorts of possibilities (big bed/bunk room, exercise room, play room, craft room ...). The not-to-be-missed remodeled kitchen features a Fulgor Milano gas cooktop, Bosch oven, convection-microwave and dishwasher, soft-close cabinetry, slab countertops, and a large walk-in pantry. Private decks on both levels, spanning the length of the home and accessed from both living areas and all bedrooms, highlight this home's intimate connection w/ nature. If the setting inspires you to action, wooded trails accessed from nearby George Himes Park, the extensive SW Trails network, and the Terwilliger Parkway are literally just outside your doorstep. And the super low maintenance yard allows time for just those pursuits and more! Quick, easy commutes to downtown Pdx, OHSU, Lake Oswego and Beaverton are icing on the cake! [Home Energy Score = 4.
