View ListingOh, My, My, My! Oh my – the sweeping views; the clean, elegant but ever so understated cool vibes designer kitchen; the quintessential mid-century rumpus room; the perfect floorplan for so many; and oh my – the meandering stroll through the gracious back yard to the sauna. This main floor includes an open-concept living/great room with large windows and a gas fireplace, the gourmet kitchen with a cozy breakfast nook with built-in banquette, and a formal dining room, plus access to an expansive deck —perfect for everyday living and your swanky party needs. Honeyed hardwood floors carpet this entire level, complemented by designer fixtures and finishes. Three main-level bedrooms include a private primary bedroom with an ensuite bath. For those seeking effortless one-level living, a powder room, an attached two-car garage, and a useful mudroom round out the main floor. The finished “walk-out rambler” lower level offers the spacious family room, a guest bedroom suite, a bonus room (perfect for a home office, gym, or studio), plus a laundry room and abundant finished storage with built-in closets. Enjoy indoor-outdoor living with a covered deck and lower-level patio overlooking the large backyard. Gardeners and food lovers will appreciate mature fruit trees (apple, Asian pear, peach, fig), blueberries, and raised garden beds. The charming “chicken chateau” in the expansive side-yard adds the option for fresh eggs at home. Unwind in your private Finnish sauna with cold-plunge after a day of harvesting or hosting. Additional upgrades include a 2-stage whole-house water filtration system, EV charger, and new sewer line. Conveniently located with easy access to major employers like Nike and Intel, plus Washington County taxes and Portland schools including the beloved Bridlemile Elementary. This one’s special.
