About this home
The dream of the ‘70s is alive in Portland! A custom NW contemporary that hits every note of the vernacular, there's cedar shake siding blending seamlessly into the landscape, playful asymmetry, vaulted ceilings, big windows, skylights, and a dreamy multi-level indoor-outdoor flow. A spectacular teak deck is the centerpiece, party-ready, and offering up sweeping views to the west from sunrise to sunset. This house is designed for entertaining. The family room with towering fireplace connects to an airy dining room and kitchen with plenty of counter space and storage, solid wooden cabinets, and a large pass-through window to keep the party flowing. A massive, low-maintenance deck has enough space for grilling, lounging, and dining. Three bedrooms, a full bath, and laundry all on the main level provide the ideal layout, with plenty of room to spread out. The atrium-like primary suite has captivating views via connected windows and skylights, and a stylish ‘70s bathroom with a dedicated tub for soaking, post-sauna! Fill the room with plants, fire up Fleetwood Mac Rumors, and imagine you’re in Laurel Canyon.On the lower level is a tucked-away bonus room, full bathroom, and second deck (with a view!) for your out of town guests, rental, or office space. And there’s no shortage of storage, with a two car garage that’s EV ready. Be a world away from the pace of the city, easily accessible to all the inner NE and SE spots, AND a part of the tightly-knit Rocky Butte community with its own farmers market, food carts and restaurants, even an annual music festival performed in the tunnel!

Madison South, located between NE 42nd Avenue and NE 60th Avenue, is a residential and commercial Portland neighborhood with a grid of tree-lined streets and a steady rhythm of corner storefronts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along NE 42nd Avenue near NE Killingsworth Street, where cafes, small restaurants, and everyday shops keep sidewalks active. Classic Portland bungalows and mid-century houses sit behind low fences and mature street trees. Fernhill Park sets a broad, open backdrop for walks, pickup games, and community gatherings. The Alberta Arts District edges the south side with galleries and independent dining. Transit lines along NE Killingsworth and NE 42nd tie the area to the rest of the city.
