City and mountain views from nearly every room, including Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens, set on a quiet Kings Heights street above the city. Just blocks from NW 23rd, with an attached garage, driveway parking, and additional street parking, this home has been fully remodeled inside and out with a high level of care and detail. Elevated above the street, the home captures natural light throughout the day and city lights at night, with multiple decks positioned to take in the skyline, bridges, and surrounding hills. The location offers a balance of privacy and access, with a nearby trail connection providing a quick route to NW 23rd, and close proximity to Forest Park, Wallace Park, and a short walk to Pipster Prep. Inside, the home has been carefully refinished to create a smooth and cohesive interior, with updated surfaces, fresh paint, and refinished hardwood floors that carry a consistent feel throughout. The kitchen is equipped with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, marble countertops, and soft-close cabinetry with extensive pull-out storage. Interior design and custom elements by Kaemingk Design introduce built-ins, lighting, and finishes that align with the home’s original architecture. The layout offers flexibility across multiple levels, including a fully finished basement with a custom office, playroom, and dedicated utility space. System upgrades include added ductless heating and cooling to support upper levels, updated electrical and plumbing, and improved insulation. Exterior work includes refreshed siding and trim, curated landscaping and lighting, a turf side yard, and secure gated access. A well-executed home in one of Portland’s most established neighborhoods, offering views, walkability, and a high level of finish throughout. [Home Energy Score = 3.
