A rare opportunity. First time on the market in nearly 50 years. This stunning one of a kind property in Hessler Hills with the best views in Portland, was built in 1956 by architect Herman Brookman. The home captures the timeless feeling of a Mid-Century Modern masterpiece. The house is situated on the site to capture the stunning views of seven mountains and the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. Immaculately updated and refreshed by architect Dennis Batke and designer Karol Neimi. The current owners took care to keep the home's integrity. Natural light floods the living room, dining room and kitchen. Take in the views from the sunken living room with its exquisite original fireplace surrounded by built-ins. The formal dining room has space for large gatherings and easy access to the nearly 1 acre of private, beautifully hardscaped and landscaped grounds by landscape architect Craig Kiest. The chef's kitchen offers a marvelous place to cook and has been tastefully updated. Primary suite wing has an intimate courtyard, walk-in closet and en-suite all with custom built zebra wood cabinets and storage. This wing also has a private office with built-ins and views. Lower level backyard has newly plastered and tiled in-ground pool with spectacular views and new patio decking. You will never have to leave, or you can be downtown in 10 minutes!
