About this home
VIEWS! CONDO ALTERNATIVE! Poised above the city at the foot of the West Hills, this singular 1961 residence in Portland Heights commands rare panoramic views of Mount Hood and the downtown skyline. A dramatic renovation has preserved the home's authentic mid-century modern architecture while introducing high-end finishes and modern amenities.A striking entry with a Chihuly-inspired custom skylight installation sets the tone for the home's artful design. The main living spaces unfold primarily on one level, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping city vistas from nearly every room. 14-foot ceilings, pale chevron wood floors, and a wood burning fireplace in the great room evoke the elegance of a Paris apartment, while an adjacent den with a second fireplace provides the perfect setting for a nightcap.The kitchen is sleek and stylish, with black leathered granite countertops, an oversized island with prep sink, and premium appliances, including a full-height Sub-Zero wine refrigerator. A sun-drenched breakfast nook opens onto the home's most distinctive feature - a stunning curved balcony with a firepit and breathtaking views of the mountains, river, and city, including the future South Waterfront MLB ballpark.The luxurious primary suite offers balcony access, distinctive porcelain tile flooring and accents, a freestanding soaking tub, and a spacious shower with rain showerhead. The expansive lower level, complete with a fireplace, serves as a blank canvas with flexible spaces ideal for guest quarters, media space, fitness area, game room, or storage.A compelling alternative to luxury condo living, the home is set on nearly half an acre at downtown's western edge, with a low-maintenance yard. Off-street parking accommodates over eight vehicles, with covered parking for three. The property enjoys an enviable location between Washington Park and the city - minutes from Multnomah Athletic Club and downtown - a perfect blend of natural serenity and urban convenience....
