About this home
Walk into major equity!! Motivated Sellers. Tucked beneath a canopy of evergreens in Sylvan Highlands, this transformed residence unfolds in light, air, and long southwest vistas. Vaulted ceilings lift above interconnected living spaces, while walls of glass frame a constantly changing backdrop of sky, treetops, and distant ridgelines.A quartz-centered kitchen spills effortlessly onto the view deck, where morning fog gives way to golden evenings. The primary suite occupies its own quiet corner of the home, complete with a custom dressing room, refined bath, and direct access to the outdoors. Three additional bedrooms share the main level.Below, a private guest apartment—with its own entrance, kitchen, and outdoor gathering space—offers independence and flexibility, while a dedicated fitness studio creates room to recharge.The landscape has been shaped as carefully as the home itself: a stone terrace for long-table dinners, a lush garden framed by rhododendrons, and a productive enclosed kitchen garden designed for year-round harvests.Recent investments in solar power, battery storage, EV charging, and major systems bring a forward-looking dimension to a property grounded in comfort and connection to its setting.Minutes from Forest Park and the amenities of Northwest Portland, this is a home defined less by rooms and features than by the way it lives—open to the landscape, attuned to the seasons, and designed for gathering, growing, and staying awhile.
Gorgeous and sleek modern home on flag lot with beautiful territorial views. Great layout and finishes and amazing full ADU on lower level. House is pristine.

Sylvan-Highlands, located between Washington Park and Forest Park, is a hillside and wooded Portland neighborhood with winding roads and trailhead gateways. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Washington Park MAX Station area along SW Jefferson St, where transit platforms, park entrances, and commuter foot traffic set a purposeful pace. The Oregon Zoo, Hoyt Arboretum, and the World Forestry Center anchor local culture with exhibits, canopy walks, and forest-focused programming. Homes range from mid-century lines to contemporary builds tucked into steep lots, often framed by tall firs. Daily rhythms follow trail runs, dog walks, and bike climbs up Skyline and Fairview. Foggy mornings and filtered light give the streets a quiet, evergreen feel.
