Offered for the first time, this remarkable Mid-Century Modern estate is nestled at the end of a quiet private road on 1.69 acres. This one-of-a-kind urban oasis offers mesmerizing views across the estate toward Reed College and a serene spring-fed pond set within a quiet natural setting with a chorus of birds. Perfectly located right in the middle of Southeast Portland, close proximity to Woodstock & Eastmoreland near all the shops and restaurants. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams and walls of glass showcase the home’s iconic Mid-Century Modern design. Light-filled living spaces embrace the surrounding landscape, creating a seamless connection between architecture and nature. The grounds function as a private sanctuary, featuring walking trails, lawn areas, and several private overlooks positioned throughout the property. The deck off the main living room frames sweeping views of the estate and serves as a natural extension of the interior living space—ideal for entertaining or quiet moments immersed in the setting. The dedicated office features substantial built-in cabinetry, offering a refined and functional workspace. Main house offers two bedrooms with vaulted open wood-beam ceilings and generous closet space. The lower level daylight basement expands the living experience with a walk-out design that opens directly to outdoor living areas. Adding flexibility, the detached garage includes a 556 sq ft fully self-contained apartment with an updated kitchen, living room, 1 bedroom, full bathroom w/ minimal stairs—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a private office/studio, or possible income potential. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive Portland property where rare acreage, architectural character, and a deeply private natural setting come together in an unforgettable living experience everyday. The pond's “Azolla” is a natural aquatic fern that helps support the ecosystem in the warmer months -it clears up in cooler weather. [Home Energy Score = 1.
