Surrounded by towering evergreens and set in a remarkably private setting, this classic contemporary residence offers a rare combination of architectural character, natural beauty, and everyday comfort. Designed to embrace its forested surroundings, the home is filled with natural light and showcases tranquil views through expansive windows that create a seamless connection to the outdoors. High ceilings throughout the home enhance the sense of openness, while warm, inviting spaces create an atmosphere that is both elegant and comfortable. The main living room is a standout gathering space, featuring a dramatic wall of windows that frames the surrounding landscape and fills the room with sunlight throughout the day. Just off the living area, a cozy library with fireplace offers the perfect setting for reading, working from home, or relaxing by the fire on a quiet evening. The spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a generous walk-in closet, separate sitting room, and fireplace. Whether enjoying a morning coffee overlooking the trees or unwinding at the end of the day, this serene space provides comfort and flexibility. Additional living areas throughout the home accommodate a variety of lifestyles, including a lower-level family room with wood floors that is ideal for media, recreation, or guest gatherings. Every room reflects an appreciation for the surrounding environment, with peaceful outlooks and a sense of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find. The home's thoughtful design balances grand proportions with inviting living spaces, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming. Ideally located in Southwest Portland, this home offers easy access to shopping, dining, parks, and schools while enjoying a peaceful, private forest setting. [Home Energy Score = 1.
