Originally built in 1892 and completely reimagined by a marine architect, this Overlook residence is a study in light, volume, and thoughtful design. Every angle of the home reflects a vision that blends historic character with modern sensibility, creating a living space that feels both grounded and quietly extraordinary.Sunlight pours through the home from every direction. The primary suite feels almost sky bound with a ceiling of skylights that flood the space with natural light from morning through evening. Warm hardwood floors run throughout, anchored by a cozy fireplace that adds depth and warmth to the main living area. The kitchen features modern updates paired with custom hardwood cabinetry, designed for both beauty and everyday function.Three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main level, offering a comfortable and practical layout. Beyond the main living spaces, the home opens up guest quarters and a separate entry that creates potential for an ADU, creative studio, workshop, or private retreat. One of the home’s remarkable features is the sprawling rooftop terrace nestled among the trees. From this elevated perch you can take in sweeping skyline views and unforgettable Portland sunsets, making it a space meant for celebrating the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.The south facing backyard invites in all day light and offers room to garden & entertain. Off street parking, a setup ready for electric car charging, and flexible spaces throughout the property make this home as practical as it is distinctive.Located in the beloved Overlook neighborhood, this is truly a one of a kind architectural experience.Twilight Open House Thursday March 5th from 4 PM to 7 PM. This home was meant to be shown. [Home Energy Score = 3. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10109148]
