Rare opportunity to own a one-level Van Evera Bailey designed Northwest Regional MCM home and customize it for yourself.

House has 2 furnaces (one installed in 2024) plus AC. Due to condition of home the water is shut off and likely not financeable, so cash only sale is required. Van Evera Bailey centered the home on Mt Hood, every room on the east side looks out to panoramic views that include mountains, Willamette River & partial City view. The 64 Acre lot was designed by landscape architects Huntington & Keist and carefully curated with specimens that will thrive in the Pacific NW Environment.
