Sited in a forested.42 acre Japanese garden like setting in unincorporated Multnomah County, this special 1956 Northwest Regional Modern was designed by renowned Portland architect, Walter Gordon. One of Oregon's most distinguished residential designers, Gordon designed more than 60 homes in the area and was a protg of Pietro Belluschi, a founder of the Northwest Regional Style. Unlike many of Gordon's sizable and more opulent homes, this is an intimate refreshing departure perfectly scaled for comfortable modern living. It has an open concept design that flows freely from the entry to the den, living, sun and dining rooms while connecting to nature through its thoughtfully placed windows. Gordon's generous use of wood finishes create an inescapable cozy, warm and calming atmosphere throughout. At 2324 square feet, it lives primarily as a single level. The den can be reconverted into a 3rd bedroom if needed. The home maintains many of its original design details including extended overhangs, exposed vaulted tongue and groove cedar ceilings, slate entry, hardwood floors, built-in casework, a roman bath and original steel kitchen cabinetry by St. Charles; whose line was often specified by the likes of Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright. Modern updates and bespoke upgrades have been carefully integrated throughout while enhancing the home's original design features. Every surface has been addressed. The kitchen was remodeled with new countertops and gourmet stainless steel appliances; the baths were updated as well. All of the original casework and cabinetry throughout the home was restored. Originally envisioned by a master gardener, native and Asian species harmonize outside to create peaceful garden spaces great for morning coffee, relaxation and entertainment. This private and peaceful Gordon enclave has been well curated, preserved and cared for by its owners and it shows, and it's one you'll certainly want to see and experience in person.
