Overview
Located near Multnomah Village and perched above a low-traffic dead-end street, with views across and down the valley toward the coast, this custom home is sited to capture both privacy and long green views, drawing light into every room. The distant sightlines do double duty — bringing the outdoors in while making already-generous rooms feel larger still. Morning tea comes with dappled light through the trees, a front-row seat to the weather rolling in or a glorious sunsets from the front yard or inside the house. Room to spread out, or come together. Great room, living room, dining room, kitchen, and family room flow into one another — large adjacent spaces that flex easily between communal gatherings and quiet corners for one. The kitchen anchors the center of the house, with the formal living and dining rooms on one side and the great room opening on the other. Cook with company, or cook while the party happens around you. Four bedrooms are on the second floor. The primary suite is a genuine retreat: a large soaking tub, separate shower, and a substantial walk-in closet. Generous storage in every bedroom, along the hallway, and throughout the house keeps daily life running smoothly. Off the great room, a spacious family room flexes for whatever the day calls for — media, workouts, or play, from treadmill and yoga to ping pong and foosball — and converts just as easily into a fifth bedroom or a separate living space for multigenerational households. Out back, a large patio and parking area set up front-row for an inspiring sunrise or cool evening dining, offering privacy, birdsong, and greenery all around. This home is truly special from sun up to sun down! Improvements include, but not limited to: New FS stove, new paint inside and out, heat pump 2024 (12 yr warranty), vinyl windows 2023 (lifetime warranty), new roof 2022, water heater 2021, furnace 2020.Excellent neighbor community on this street with robust kid and family culture!
