A Mid-Century Masterpiece. A Usonian Unicorn in Coveted Concordia. Custom built with an honorable history. In 1955 Lillian Durig asked her architect brother Stephen Mayer to design her a Usonian style home here in Portland. Famed Frank Lloyd Wright was the acclaimed designer behind this stunning style of architecture. The Usonian style celebrated simplicity. Straightforward interiors that lacked ornamentation. This treasure boasts tried and true Usonian characteristics including an open floor plan, floor to ceiling windows, loads of natural light, handsome horizontal lines, a low flat roof with overhangs, and beautiful board-and-batten cedar siding. Well preserved and pristine. The interior is incredible with handsome handpicked fir grain paneling, a central fireplace with a comfortable concrete hearth, sleek shelving, cool cabinetry, honorable hardware, original light fixtures, and warm and welcoming earth tones. The functional layout includes 3 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and a lower level that lures with a fabulous family room, second bathroom, laundry room, and storage. The oversized two car tandem garage is gold. The backyard is private and peaceful with lovely curated landscaping. In a noteworthy NE neighborhood close to Fernhill Park, NE 42nd, Killingsworth and Alberta. An outrageous opportunity to own an awe-inspiring work of art.
