Welcome to the Sylvan Tree House - a striking modern treehouse designed to showcase the beauty of Portland's Forest Park while being minutes away from 23rd Ave, Goose Hollow, Cultural Arts District, the Pearl District and Downtown PDX! This private beautiful home sits on almost half an acre with multiple decks and patios that seamlessly integrate into the surrounding naturescape. Inside, the thoughtfully designed floorplan ensures that every room offers its own peaceful woodland views. Embracing NW Contemporary style, the living room greets you with a dramatic wall of windows and a cozy gas fireplace. High vaulted ceilings and original cedar and mahogany wood detailing enhance the main level’s warmth and charm. The newly remodeled kitchen brings in eco-friendly Caesarstone countertops, added storage, and sleek modern cabinetry, plus an oversized slider to a deck off of the dining room - perfect for indoor/outdoor entertaining. The private office rounds out the main level with built-in shelves and a peaceful view. Upstairs leads to the spacious primary bedroom with its own walk-in closet, sitting area, and skylight, adding to the natural ambiance in every weather. The second bedroom on this level includes its own bathroom, thoughtful storage, and exceptional views of the trees. Downstairs you will find two additional bedrooms, a laundry room, and the third full bathroom. Located in the highly sought-after Ainsworth Elementary School District and just blocks away from miles of scenic hiking trails through Pittock Acres, Macleay Park, Hoyt Arboretum, and Forest Park, this home is a true nature lover’s paradise. Enjoy the tranquility of the forest while living close to the city and have the best of both worlds! Open Sunday 11-1. [Home Energy Score = 5.
