About this home
This contemporary wonder was originally designed by famed architect Van Evera Bailey. Named "The Sinclair House" after its original owners, this Council Crest home was built specifically for the NW by adding cedar to the exterior, stucco on the base, & a concrete foundation. The home was carefully reimagined to keep its architectural integrity while adding additional space & high-end details throughout. The interior is incomparable with recessed base trim, smooth walls, square recessed lighting, solid white oak floors throughout, & walnut cabinetry/doors. The spiral staircase was designed with large windows & turret-like exterior to bring in light while showcasing its cascading curvature both inside & out. Comfort was considered during the design with radiant heat floors on both main & lower level. The home was designed to display unobstructed views of Mt. Hood & the Cascades from as many rooms as possible - even a wall of windows in the garage displays these wonders. The upper primary suite has a wall of windows, private rooftop deck, luxurious bath, & WI closet. The exterior features spaces for play, gardening, entertaining, & relaxing. The property has no contiguous houses on the front, back, or south side. Views & privacy. Sale includes vacant adjoining lot to the south. A rare opportunity to own in one of Portland's most stunning neighborhoods. Around the corner from Healy Heights Park, minutes from Council Crest Park, & trailheads. Easy commute to downtown, Hillsdale, OHSU, & waterfront. [Home Energy Score = 3. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10250493]

Healy Heights, located between Council Crest Park and Hillsdale, is a hillside and residential Portland neighborhood with winding streets and broad valley views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along SW Sunset Blvd near the Council Crest trailheads, where runners, dog walkers, and cyclists pass quiet overlooks and forested edges. Mid-century homes and contemporary rebuilds sit on steep lots, with mature evergreens shaping a private, elevated feel. Council Crest Park sets the outdoor rhythm with paved paths, picnic lawns, and skyline viewpoints. Nearby, the Hillsdale town center adds daily rituals through Baker & Spice, the historic Hillsdale Theater, and the Hillsdale Farmers Market. Commutes and errands often trace SW Capitol Hwy, while side streets stay calm and green.

Architecturally significant with iconic Mt Hood Views. Escape from the ordinary in this completely rehabbed home. Built in 1942 by famed architect Van Evera Bailey, thoughtfully restored by Pritikin Group in 2014, not a detail has been spared. Views,decks & streamlined finishes create an amazing living opportunity. "Simplicity is the ultimate Sophistication" coined by DaVinci & played out exceptionally well here at the Sinclair House.
