Originally built in 1992, this stunning Ash Creek traditional has been carefully remodeled at almost every turn. The 1600 plus square foot main level stands as a floor plan that is both uncommon and in high demand. A rare main floor master suite with updated bathroom and a full second bedroom and bathroom anchors the eastern wing. An open and stunning series of formal spaces, in addition to an open great room, surround the kitchen which acts as an elegant hub. Refinished cherry floors, new backband millwork, designer Benjamin Moore colors and granite counters highlight the top shelf surface treatments the homeowners have designed into the home.  Rejuvenation and Schoolhouse light fixtures, expansive windows, a gas fireplace and a new custom stairwell with window seat round out additional finish details.

Complimenting the incredible main floor is a new second floor which the homeowners had Arnal Design Build create in 2017. It features two beautiful bedrooms, clever bonus spaces and a third full bathroom. The bathroom is home to Ann Sacks penny round tiles, Cedar and Moss light fixtures, a custom vanity with maple dove-tail drawers and high-end bath fixtures. The bedrooms have high ceilings that highlight the grand trusses originally designed into the home and include four massive Velux egress wood skylights infusing the spaces with natural light. Custom built-ins, Schoolhouse lighting and high-end millwork round out the rooms and reflect the care and stewardship of the main level.

Surrounding all of these beautiful interior spaces are established grounds with raised beds, a covered wrap around cedar deck and beautiful trees and plantings.  Situated proudly in the heart of a sought after Ash Creek cul-de-sac community, this address is just a mile to Multnomah Village and less than a mile to Gabriel Park.  Efficient commute patterns, quick access to the SW Community Center and just a dozen blocks to Village shops like Grand Central Bakery make this noteworthy property even more compelling.  To find a floor plan and remodeling like this in a 90’s traditional close to Multnomah Village can take years, so it is with great excitement and pride that we present this amazing property to the market!

Tranquility Among The Trees

Posted on by Andy Meeks

A growing body of scientific research has shown positive health benefits accrue from spending time in nature and, specifically, among the trees. The Japanese term Shinrin-yoku literally means ‘forest bathing’ or ‘taking in the forest atmosphere.’ Now imagine doing that without having to leave home.

Nestled among the mature canopies of SW Portland’s coveted Ashcreek neighborhood, and just five minutes from vibrant Multnomah Village, is this custom-built 1979 contemporary home. It lives among the trees and brings nature and sunlight inside with lots of windows, big skylights and private decks to enjoy the tranquil quiet of the 0.28 acre lot.

The focal point of the house is a great room with 23’ ceilings that is both grand and cozy at the same time. The house has been thoughtfully designed to provide maximum comfort and private spaces within an open concept, and welcomes both quiet reflection and room to entertain. There is a fireplace nook set into the great room that helps define the living and dining room spaces. The kitchen is also open to the great room, but set off with a full counter for service, and it also has a sweet built-in nook with big windows that look out to the backyard and garden. There are two doors to private decks on the south and west sides of the home from the great room, making it easy to slip outside to do some forest bathing and sun soaking.

A stairway and catwalk bring you to the second floor with an expansive view of the house, as well as the sky and the trees – courtesy of three massive skylights. The bedrooms are split between the east and west sides of the home, providing privacy and maximizing the space. The master bedroom expands in two directions: towards a open loft space with a balcony, as well as to an 8’ x 5’ walk-in closet. It also has a private balcony facing west. The walk-in closet shares a wall with a cedar-lined room that has more recently been used as a wine cellar, complete with a heat pump for heating and cooling. These spaces invite a designer’s mind to reimagine them in a fresh way. Brand new white oak floors have been professionally installed throughout the second floor, and almost all of the walls having been freshly painted, adding to the lightness and brightness of the spaces.

There have only been two owners of this home, originally dubbed “The House of Light and Sound.” The original vision has been preserved, but the seller has lovingly invested more than $25,000 in key updates to the home since 2016: new high-efficiency gas furnace and water heater, brand new white oak flooring on the second floor, refinished Brazilian hardwood floors in the great room, new custom-made doors in the front and back, updates to the bathrooms, new skylight, and fresh paint nearly throughout.

The house sits at the end of a quiet road with direct access to the SW trail system, and is just five minutes from thriving Multnomah Village and twenty minutes to downtown. It’s a house that must be seen and experienced to truly appreciate. Your urban, forest bathing retreat awaits!
