Taken down to the studs and completely rebuilt, this Overlook home is all about clean design, thoughtful updates, and jaw-dropping views. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings and wide-open living spaces frame a panoramic look at the Willamette River and NW Hills. Massive sliding doors open to the upper deck, where you can watch the sun set over the hills every single evening. The designer kitchen features quartz countertops, soft-close cabinets, and stainless steel appliances, all oriented to keep that view front and center. Downstairs, both bedrooms open onto a private deck through sliding doors, each with the same incredible outlook. Everything has been redone—siding, windows, plumbing, electrical, furnace, AC, on-demand hot water, engineered hardwoods, and more. Blocks from Adidas, the bluffs, and the shops, bars, and restaurants on Killingsworth. Easy access to I-5. One-of-a-kind and impossible to forget.
