3815 N Willis Blvd, Portland

Beautifully renovated and exceptionally well cared-for mid-century home, thoughtfully refined over the past decade by its product and apparel designer owners. Set well back from a wide, tree-lined boulevard, the home feels remarkably quiet and private while remaining wonderfully connected to North Portland. Enjoy an easy stroll to Kenton Park, Columbia Park Nature Park, local shops and restaurants, with convenient public transit and the University Park community close by.The design story is especially compelling in the custom-remodeled entry and primary suite. Reimagined from the ground up in 2020, the primary bathroom features a completely reworked layout, custom tile work, designer finishes, skylight, new window, and bespoke woodworking, while the adjoining primary closet was custom-designed and built for the space. The entryway received the same level of intentional design, with custom woodworking transforming the arrival into the home. These spaces were recognized by the design community, with the primary bathroom selected as a GRAY Awards 2020 Editors’ Pick and the bathroom and custom closet subsequently featured in Fine Homebuilding.Throughout, original hardwoods, distinctive finishes, custom details, front and back decks, mature landscaping, a large garden shed, and true two-car off-street parking create a home that is as livable as it is beautifully considered. Major improvements include roof, windows and sewer line (2015), central air (2017), seismic retrofit, and intentional updates to the kitchen, baths, landscaping, and custom window coverings. A rare combination of thoughtful design, enduring mid-century character, and everyday livability.
