3 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 223500341 MLS

A stone’s throw to the East of Portland’s Glendoveer Golf Course sits the most surprising of mid-century homes. Built by a physician and his wife in 1970 as they became empty-nesters, this Marvin Witt-designed home is a rare find, with its peaceful feel, earthy tones and natural light. Indeed, with the views to a tree-filled park across the street, it’s easy to forget that the home sits in an established neighborhood. Designed for one-level living, the main floor is the spectacular part of the house with near 20-foot ceilings and clerestory windows. Add to that: an atrium with indoor/outdoor plantings; grass cloth wallpaper; wool carpet; a wet bar that serves as a pass-through between kitchen and dining spaces; custom cabinetry; and the most impressive chimney. The primary bedroom features a dressing area with generous built-in closets that lead to the ensuite bath. The lower level is admittedly not quite as spectacular as the main but offers fantastic living space, including two bedrooms, a family room, a third patio, newly finished bonus/flex room (a non-conforming fourth bedroom) and generous storage. Over the home’s 56 years the lower level (which includes an efficiency kitchen) has served as children’s separate living space; caregiver’s living quarters; and a short- and long-term rental. Great care has been taken to maintain this home and, where updates were needed (new tile in the main floor hall bath, for example), they remain true to the home’s original look-and-feel. The same goes for the home’s carefully designed yard, which is filled with many of the same mature trees and plants as one finds in the Portland Japanese Garden. Indoor and out, up and down, this home is undeniably special.
