Step into mid-century cool with a modern twist: a beautifully updated 1967 split-level filled with natural light, open gathering spaces, and effortless neighborhood charm. Perched above the street, this 5BD, 3BA home makes an impression with undeniable curb appeal, a sleek front deck, and contemporary cable railing. Huge windows flood the interior with sunlight and provide a front-row seat to the rhythm of the neighborhood—perfect for sipping morning coffee and waving to neighbors and their dogs. The main level is a cheery and open great room, connecting living, dining, and kitchen with effortless flow and inviting zones for relaxing, entertaining, and gathering. The chef’s kitchen anchors it all with a massive island and generous workspace, ready for casual breakfasts or full-on feasts. Just off the kitchen, a convenient lounge space invites the voracious reader to settle in with a book, host game nights, or linger in conversation while keeping the chef company. Downstairs, the cozy family room offers the perfect retreat for movie nights or hobbies and provides exterior access, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. Mid-century style continues in the backyard with a huge private deck adorned with string lights, mature landscaping, and a playful peekaboo upper deck, creating the perfect summer setting for entertaining or quiet evenings. All this, in the storied Bridlemile neighborhood—where tree-lined streets whisper decades of history, and the park and 10/10-rated elementary school are just steps away. Summer movie nights, community gatherings, and impromptu tennis matches bring neighbors together. If these trees could talk, they’d tell tales of generations enjoying the perfect blend of serenity and city convenience—minutes from OHSU, Beav-Hills Hwy, downtown, I-5, Hwy 217, and Sunset Hwy. A serene retreat in one of Portland’s best-kept secrets. A little retro. A lot of style. Pure mid-century cool.
