Stunning Mid Century Modern home designed in the Northwest Regional Style by local architect Henry Bergman.This one owner modern home, built in 1965 for the McLennan family was constructed with solid wood walls of tongue & groove cedar planks and utilizes post and beam construction.The sunken living room features large bay windows overlooking the lush forest while a grand brick fireplace with a cantilevered hearth separates the living room from the dining space.The solarium expands into a vaulted space with a wall of windows and a built in rock garden along the bank of windows.The sun exposure heats the rocks and tile flooring during the day which is released in the eve providing a natural and efficient heat source.The galley kitchen features original wood cabinetry, a generous amount of counter space and storage with stainless appliances.The entryway has large floor to ceiling windows bringing the outdoors in and opens to the main level elevated deck space.The primary bedroom is on the main floor along with a full bathroom and a second bedroom that has been used as an office.The lower level features a flexible entertaining space, two bedrooms and a full bath. The attached studio/workshop has a separate entrance and views of the forested lot.The home was designed to integrate into the surrounding natural landscape and the gardens have been thoughtfully curated by the original owner for over 60 years. The additional lot behind the home is included and provides an additional natural layer of privacy. Minutes to Hillsdale shopping, OHSU,city center. [Home Energy Score = 1.
