Portland, 97239
View ListingJust above Hillsdale on the quiet streets of Westwood Heights, sits a most splendid mid-century modern, soaking up the sun.
This 1957-built residence is a sight to behold. A modest, quiet aesthetic gives way to remarkable views as far as the eye can see. From east to west–the foothills of the Mt Hood National Forest, the Willamette River winding its way, and expansive southern exposure with valley views. Look west for many varied sunsets. It’s the best of all worlds here; where nature + the city are closer than you think.
The design of this home is completely in tune with the lot on which it was built. Today, it’s just as contemporary and practical as ever. Expansive at 3,540 square feet, each level offers over 1,700 square feet of living space, providing a flow and ease of access, which can be hard to find in this setting.
The main level houses floor to ceiling windows, new oak hardwood floors, stunning original built-ins both in the main hallway and dining room with custom drawers.
The refreshed kitchen is open + airy with bright quartz countertops with earthy tile backsplash. Enjoy a long kitchen bar to gather, JennAir gas range, coffee station, built-in desk, custom maple cabinetry, so much storage, and beautiful river views from the sink! The fabulous deck off the kitchen offers respite with windbreaker glass + stairs to the backyard.
This floorplan offers such ease of living with the primary suite on the main level, with incredible views, even from the bath. Also on the main level is the 2nd bedroom plus a newly renovated guest bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower.
The lower level features a large family room with wood fireplace + more sweeping valley views. The remaining 2 bedrooms, a cheery bathroom with walk-in shower, laundry room w/ folding table + sink, and door to mudroom complete the lower level experience.
A south-facing, solar-drenched sunroom is ready for whatever your heart desires! Exit through the sunroom sliders and greet the outdoors with green grass + stellar views. Mosey down the paths in the backyard to discover terraced gardens with plenty of sun. A jaunt up to Westwood Heights is always worth the trip!
The sweet spot of Southwest Portland, Hillsdale strikes a balance between nature + solitude and the vibrant city we love. With its knack for being both remote and close to town and all the local haunts in Hillsdale. Here, you can wander down the hill to the robust Sunday Farmer’s Market, Baker + Spice, Gigi’s Cafe, or the soon-to-be Market of Choice. Hop on a trail system right in your own backyard. Go on a sunset walk and see Mt. Hood turn from pink to purple. The adventures are endless and the location in all its balance is hard to beat.

You might have heard the term "MLS" thrown around when talking about real estate. Maybe you’ve seen abbreviations like RMLS or NWMLS. Maybe you’ve wondered how sites like Zillow actually get their data. So let’s talk about what the MLS actually is, why it exists, and why it matters to you.
