California Dreaming Meets Portland Perfection

By Chad Meier, May 20, 2020

Located within sought after Raleigh Hills, this beautiful home has a timeless look, charm to spare & all the right moves! Anchored at the base of a West Slope community filled with architecturally diverse properties, here is the effortlessly stylish, mid-century ranch you’ve been waiting for!

Close proximity to commerce, dining, entertainment, top rated schools and Central PDX means you’ll never be far from the action. Yet the beautiful neighborhood, natural areas and assorted public parks provide an urban enclave in which to find your own zen state of mind. Your soon-to-be favorite spot is bound to be at home!

Thoughtfully reimagined with today’s living in mind, this classic 50’s era house strikes a perfect balance by juxtaposing clean, cool mid-century lines with current construction trends and high-quality finishes. In short, this home has presence!

An open floor plan provides optimal flow by interconnecting the central living room with the separate dining areas & the kitchen space. Adjacent to these social hubs are attractive bedrooms, bathrooms, den and laundry area to the west of the home, along with a master suite tucked away on the east wing.

Form meets function in a designer kitchen containing quartz countertops, a six-burner range and custom cabinetry sure to wow your guests, yet still perfectly suited for meal prep. Meanwhile, a generously sized center island with built-in breakfast bar is perfect for informal dining and entertainment. In the mood to “hold court” outside? No problem, because a gorgeous set of sliding glass doors provide access to the backyard patio area.

Over in the master suite you’ll find wall-to-wall windows underneath a pitched ceiling with exposed beams, a gleaming white bathroom with a dual-head shower, a walk-in closet and your very own fireplace. An additional set of French doors also provide access to the rear courtyard, making this bedroom one truly stunning retreat!

And about that courtyard… Enclosed by foliage and low maintenance landscaping, this private patio located at the rear of the home, will serve as the centerpiece of your recreational endeavors. Whether you like to entertain, fire up the grill or just relax in privacy, this is the place for you! Meanwhile downstairs, you’ll find a finished basement providing sweeping space ready to be utilized as additional sleeping, living, working or entertaining area. Holds potential for multi-gen habitation too!

No surface was left untouched over the course this mid-century home’s comprehensive remodel, yet its beauty goes beyond just skin deep! Here are just a few more of its many charms…

  • Walls of new Marvin windows bathe the home in natural light all year long!
  • European White Oak Flooring flows throughout the main level.
  • Three (3) Wood-Burning Fireplaces mean that everyone can find their own space
