Property Description
Set high in Portland’s SW Hills, where the views feel endless and time slows to match them, this is a home that redefines what it means to arrive. From the instant you step inside, there is a quiet shift—where the world opens up and everything softens. Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, drawing in uninterrupted views of Mt Hood,the Willamette River and the evolving cityscape below. It is a home that lives with the landscape, not just above it. An architecturally significant MCM designed by Van Evera Bailey, built by prominent Portland builder Max Shimshak and later reimagined by a Street of Dreams builder, the home has been featured in multiple publications including Better Homes & Gardens. Thoughtfully designed for effortless single-level living, the layout unfolds with a rare sense of calm and clarity. Generous living and entertaining spaces flow seamlessly, anchored by a central great room that captures the home’s most dramatic outlooks. The kitchen is open, connected and oriented toward the views, while adjacent dining and living areas invite both intimate evenings and larger-scale gatherings. Private spaces are equally intentional, offering comfort, separation and their own connection to the landscape. The primary suite becomes a retreat within itself—immersed in light, views and a sense of stillness that defines the home. Set on an expansive, curated parcel, the grounds feel both natural and purposeful—mature, established and reflective of the Pacific NW. Outdoor spaces extend the living experience, offering places to gather, unwind and take in the ever-changing scenery. Tucked within a legacy hillside neighborhood known for its privacy, scale and proximity to PDX's best amenities, the location offers a rare duality—moments to trails, parks, OHSU and downtown, yet a world entirely your own. This is not simply a residence—it is an architectural experience. Where life slows, views expand and every day begins and ends with intention.
