Midcentury Time Capsules like this don’t come along every day!

By Martin Cross, March 29, 2022

This large 1955 custom built daylight Ranch is a midcentury modern classic with Mt St Helens View! Van Laeken was a premier modernist builder of the day and it shows in every detail! Built in cabinets throughout, custom tiled baths, high end wallpapers and hardwood floors are just a few of the outstanding details of the period.

5 bedrooms, 3 baths, 3 fireplaces, 2 family rooms, formal dining area and large living room with huge front window just add to the warmth and charm. .20 acre lot with large partially covered patio is just begging for your entertaining ideas. 3 bedrooms on the main floor and 2 more plus an office on the lower level offers tons of flexibility and ADU possibilities!

Just 3 blocks to Fernhill park, and walking distance to Kennedy School, New Seasons and tons of local eateries and watering holes!

He/Him

I've lived in the Portland-Vancouver area my entire life, so I'm very familiar with its many neighborhoods—both in the heart of the city and throughout the suburbs. A few years ago, I made the move to Vancouver to be closer to my grandkids and even closer to nature. I love how easy it is to get outdoors here, whether it’s a walk through the Salmon Creek or Burnt Bridge greenways, or a stroll along Vancouver's fantastic waterfront. After nearly 25 years of filling homes with beautiful art and design as the owner of vintage furnishings and art galleries, I transitioned my passion for finding great pieces for great people into a career in real estate. My eye for quality and attention to detail benefit both buyers and sellers alike. Having owned and operated businesses for most of my life, I bring with me a strong background in problem-solving, collaboration, and hard work. I always say, “Great things rarely come from a 40-hour work week.” If you're looking for a dedicated, responsive, and compassionate Northwest native to help you buy or sell, I’d love to connect. Whether you're searching for a Craftsman, a Midcentury Modern home, a new build, a fixer-upper, or an investment property—from single-family rentals to duplexes or small apartment buildings—I'm here to help you make it happen.
