About this property
Originally built in 1966, this home has been thoughtfully restored and elevated into a masterclass of retro-luxury. It pays homage to late mid-century modern design, lauded for melding tactile textures and natural components while bringing depth to clean architectural lines. The living area is anchored by hemlock wood paneling and adorned with a vintage convertible Louis Weisdorf for Lyfa pendant. The kitchen is a lesson in restraint with streamlined surfaces, a sleek linear chandelier and outfitted with an appliance suite by Smeg, featuring the Renzo Piano Collection. Complete with custom birch cabinetry, solid stainless steel countertops with integral stainless sink. The primary suite is an organic and warm sanctuary with tree top views, sleek en suite bathroom and private balcony, perfect for your favorite evening routine. Downstairs offers a refined space with fireplace, full bathroom and private balcony. A moving wall system ensures ultimate flexibility as a den, guest bedroom or creative office. Sold with an additional lot totaling over 10,000 sq ft, your options for expansion are endless. Located within minutes of beloved Ernest J. Debs park and the Eastside's best restaurants, shops and hiking trails. It's not just a residence, it's a living piece of art.

Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
