4041 SE Knapp St, Portland, OR 97202

There's a certain kind of light that changes a home, not just how it looks, but how it feels to live inside it. Southern-facing with expansive walls of windows across every level: living, dining, bedrooms, and even the lower level, this home is designed to capture it fully. Morning light arrives soft and low, builds into a steady glow, and lingers into evening. Even on the grayest days, the interiors stay bright, diffused, and quietly luminous. There are few homes in Portland that truly capture light like this one does.Set within the sought-after Duniway school district, this Earth Advantage Platinum rated home pairs that natural brilliance with thoughtful, elevated design. Anne Sachs tile, refreshed paint, new carpet, and Hunter Douglas top-down/bottom-up blinds add a layer of refinement while allowing the light to be shaped throughout the day. Sustainability is foundational, with a high-efficiency 95+ furnace, central A/C, whole-home water purification, central vacuum, smart locks, a security system with mounted cameras, and pre-wiring for in-ceiling speakers. The primary suite feels quietly refined, with a glass enclosed shower and walk-in closet. Outside, an irrigation system keeps the landscape effortless, while a fire pit grounds evenings that linger just a little longer than expected.Just beyond the stillness of home, the city opens up. Woodstock is a short roll or stroll away, with its food carts, cafés, farmers market, and local shops within easy reach. Sellwood is just beyond, close enough to feel like part of daily life. Centrally positioned between Berkeley Park, Westmoreland Park, Errol Heights, and the Springwater Corridor, this is a setting that quietly expands daily life outdoors. Mornings can begin on the trail, afternoons stretch into the parks, and everything feels just within reach. It’s connected, yet removed from the noise. It’s a part of the city that lives with an easy rhythm, where convenience and calm exist side by side. [Home Energy Score = 8. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10246432]
