Sylvan Heights Mid-Century Modern with Legacy Gardens! Turn up the drive to discover a remarkable 1961 MCM home designed by noted architect Richard Marlitt. Integrated into 1.64 acres located in Portland’s prestigious Sylvan Heights, the home offers a rare blend of city convenience and natural tranquility. Welcomed by a circular drive bordered by mature maple, azalea, and magnolia, enter into a gleaming maple-paneled foyer to find classic MCM details: wood beamed ceilings; large paned windows; expansive rooms. The thoughtful floor plan flows from indoors to out, with patios and deck via sliding glass doors--perfect for entertaining! Large living, dining, and family rooms are lined with windows along the West and South sides, framing lush garden views. A main-level primary suite features beamed ceilings, a walk-in closet and tiled bath; a second bedroom with full bath includes a charming built-in window seat. The kitchen is ideally located off the bright family/breakfast room, which opens to an outdoor fireplace area and landscaped patios. The living space continues on the lower level with three additional bedrooms complete with built-ins; a large exercise/play room with cork flooring; a covered patio, along with a utility/storage room and dedicated project space for the artist. Towering evergreens, rhododendrons, azaleas, and fruit trees lovingly cared for over half a century surround the home, interlaced with winding paths and intimate gathering spots to create a quintessentially Pacific Northwest haven. Located in unincorporated Multnomah County, you’ll appreciate proximity to Catlin Gabel School, Washington Park, Nike, downtown Portland, and quick access to the coast—all while tucked away up a private drive: A few minutes from US 26, the quiet peace of forest surrounds you! Additional features include generous storage throughout; 3-car detached garage w/ covered walkway to the home; mud/laundry room; central A/C; generator; security system.
