Wait what?? ANOTHER 100K Drop! $156 sq ft! A classic-reimagined, bold, soulful, and full of surprises — this 6,000+ sq ft architectural gem in West Slope blends original 1920s character with curated updates and design-forward living. Owned by a designer for a well-known Beaverton-based shoe company and his artist partner, the home has been thoughtfully modernized in key ways while honoring its vibrant history. With 5 bedrooms, 4.2 bathrooms, and flexible living spaces—including a recently remodeled lower-level ideal for multi-generational living—there’s room for everyone to spread out, gather, and create. Highlights include the vaulted upper-level family room, floating staircase, hand-painted murals, quintessential wood-paneled living room and study, and a spacious, refined chef’s kitchen. The showstoppers? A luxe European-style spa bath featuring a steam shower, sauna, soaking tub, and original mid-century mosaic tile mural. Plus, a fun craft/mud room. Also, downstairs, the remodel adds a bedroom suite with family ADU potential, an entertainment space, kitchenette, and flex spaces for a gym, media room, or playroom. Outside, the half-acre backyard is a retreat that shines as an entertainer’s dream. Enjoy a huge resurfaced two-level deck, romantic café lighting, a 9-hole putting green, hot tub, play structure, plus a chicken house and run—all surrounded by lush, intentional landscaping with earthy, natural vibes. More than $250K in updatesinclude: newer kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, on-demand hot water heater, plumbing and electrical updates, and more. Great access Highway 26 and Beaverton's high-tech corridor, downtown, and all the amenities of SW Portland. Local residents find the background traffic sound becomes a steady and easily ignorable backdrop. This is an extraordinary opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind home in WA county, Bridlemile/Lincoln schools. Come experience this unique retreat - a home with a past, present, and room for your future.

I literally got lost in the basement. It is never ending. Very unique must-see property. Vintage style. No visuals of Hwy 26, but definitely road noise from outside, especially in back. Zen back yard could use some clean-up.

Extremely confusing layout but there a ton of rooms and potential. Needs some TLC.

OUT w/ the ordinary and IN w/ this West Slope Wonder House! Unique + true to itself, this property should be toured to fully capture. Built in 1926 + soundly re-imagined w/ a modern twist, it's more than meets the eye. From the European-Style Spa to the quintessential wood-paneled study, informal + formal spaces find balance. The meticulously refined chef's kitchen is one for the books. In this home, there is a space for everyone. All nestled on a half acre, swaying toward natural + earthy vibes
