First time on the market - and anything but ordinary. Designed by noted Pacific Northwest architect William Church, this 1964 post-and-beam original is equal parts time capsule, design manifesto and creative playground. Think Dwell magazine with soul: dramatic Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired battered walls, 3-inch-thick tongue-and-groove cedar, strong horizontal lines, warm wood, unexpected angles and rooms made for music, art, conversation and a very good party. Set on two tax lots totaling 0.63 acres in the Southwest Hills, the 4,503-square-foot home unfolds with an easy, cinematic rhythm. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living spaces, while walls of windows pull in the surrounding greenery. Four bedrooms, four baths, a den, game room and flexible lower-level ADU create space for guests, multigenerational living, creative work or rental income. Built by its original owners and expanded over the decades as family life evolved, the house carries the energy of a place that has been deeply loved and fully lived in. Many of its best details remain intact - and so does the opportunity. Bring your architect, your contractor and your boldest ideas. This is not a turnkey renovation wrapped in gray paint; it is a rare chance to restore, reimagine and add the next layer to an authentic piece of Portland modernism. Church - an early principal architect in the development of Sunriver and a champion of passive heating, cooling and solar design - created a home that still feels playful, daring and completely relevant. Close to downtown, OHSU, Council Crest, Washington Park, Hillsdale and Multnomah Village, this is the real thing: warm, singular, unforgettable and ready for someone with vision - and maybe a hammer. The next chapter is yours to live.
