Argay Terrace Mid-century Masterpiece

JUST LISTED: Stunningly updated Argay Terrace tri-level. Impeccably updated with a modernist eye while maintaining classic mid-century features. Situated on one of the quietest streets in coveted Argay Terrace, this Tri-Level plan is a modern favorite for flow and livability.

Featuring 3 bedrooms (master with view of St. Helens) and a family bathroom upstairs; a family room, 1 bed, bathroom, laundry/mudroom with outside egress door to back yard, downstairs; and on the main floor, a formal sunken living room with fireplace, open plan kitchen/dining room with eat/homework bar, and sliding glass door that flows out to the inviting gardens which are terraced and hardscaped w/ multiple patio options.

Currently, two of the rooms are used as office and weight room, which combined with the multiple family rooms and the huge .17 acre gardens, lend comfortably to working and schooling from home. There’s room for everyone! There’s also a two car garage (in which two actual large sized cars fit) connected to the kitchen for easy grocery access.

Now lets talk about this remodel: The owner took a particularly ‘granny-ized’ ranch that had been remodeled (very starkly) some time in the 90’s, and lovingly brought it into the 2020’s.  With a keen modernist eye and an appreciation for clean-lines and quality materials, she was able to gently blend original details, and a mid-century aesthetic with contemporary expectations of “good living”.  This house is pretty much exactly what all my clients envision when faced with the same type of “bring it back to amazing” project. Before you ask, no this wasn’t a flip (but if it was, I’d gladly sell again and again). It was an absolute labor of love that you, as the buyer, get to benefit from with zero effort. Totally move-in ready RADNESS.

1910 Farmhouse Meets Modernist Dream

1910 Farmhouse meets modernist’s open-plan dream!

It lives like a sprawling ranch home — boasting a huge open plan ‘great room’ with kitchen, dining and living room all rolled into one.

Two bedrooms flank the great room, whereas the en-suite main bedroom with oversized closet is quietly tucked in back. Remodeled throughout with modernist finishes, updated mechanicals (newer furnace, new Energy Star water heater), recessed can lighting, laminate floors, double paned Low-E vinyl windows, this home is absolutely move-in ready.

An open plan basement is ready for finishing with newer windows, sump pump (to be installed Sept 4), and egress potential.

Fully fenced and private yard with patio, gazebo (included in sale), raised garden boxes, enclosed RV parking, rolling gate, lawn, and mature Dwell-style landscaping. Running the length between two streets, the lot has entry from either side and access to double the friendly neighbors!

The home is poised in an established pockets of  historic 1910’s homes between Woodstock, Lents, and Happy Valley, so there’s seriously easy access to the full spectrum of shopping (from local to big box), take-out,(Cartlandia and dozens of other restaurants) parks (equidistant between Brentwood, Mt. Scott, and Glenwood where the Portland Pickles play!) a grade school (literally kitty-corner across Duke St) and the all important I-205 Freeway (the best freeway, IMO).
