Just Listed: Overlook’s Mid-Century Icon

3909 N Overlook Terrace

Portland, OR 97227

Perched on the bluff that gave Overlook its name, this beautiful mid-century home stands today as an icon, balancing the southern arm of what many would argue is North Portland’s most incredible street.

As you approach this 1956 home you are welcomed by custom metalwork and adjacent hardscape. Entering the home, you are greeted by some of the most incredible surface treatments you will ever see in a residential structure. As you move into the living room the metalwork wraps around the stunning fireplace that serves as a deserving centerpiece. Massive updated windows allow an abundance of light to accentuate the incredible colors of the home and provide an amazing view of the bluff and the cityscape.

The kitchen has been carefully updated to include white quartz counters, mahogany cabinets and a notable appliance package. An expansive outdoor deck reinforces the home’s incredible flow and offers outdoor access from the dining and living rooms. A separate entry from the SE adds to the interior/exterior flow and greets you with a custom hutch accented by a bulletin board and key drop.

The main level is rounded out by 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The master suite features a hand painted mural inspired by Van Gogh that extends from the wall into a paneled door covering. The en suite bathroom is luxurious in both its fit, finish, and layout.

Beyond the main level is the lower daylight basement with high ceilings, bright colors, and an abundance of living space with access to a partially covered outdoor area. A large central room makes an excellent gym or play area and the additional bedroom and full bathroom is ideal for guest quarters. A family room with brick fireplace, 4th full bathroom and laundry room round out the lower level.

Thoughtfully designed and planned at every turn, this captivating mid-century home is arguably one of the most important homes in this neighborhood and beyond. With one-of-a-kind details, an incredible color palette, and an unmatched location, it’s no surprise that it has been featured in design publications like Domino magazine. This mid-century Overlook is truly a piece of art.
