6438 SW Barnes Rd, Portland, OR 97221

Once upon a time, a group of friends and neighbors had a dream. "What if we built a place to live, grounded in stewardship of the land, held together with cooperative ethics, illuminated by our vision of a kind and responsible community?" That dream became reality: the Sunlight Community, fifteen freestanding condominium homes on eight wooded acres in Portland's SW Hills. A flagship community of its kind, Sunlight received national attention and is still regarded as an inspiration. Each unique home was designed to function with passive solar, built to be sheltered by the tree canopy in summer, and to capture sunlight in colder months. 6438 SW Barnes Road is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the Dixon residence, a founding member's legacy and the largest home in the community. Offering over 2500 SF of living space plus three decks, two porches, and a private balcony, this extraordinary home is an incredible place to let your imagination shine. Welcoming and hospitable, it's designed as a greatroom concept with a large open area including the kitchen, sunroom, and deck in one light-filled space. Multiple levels and rooms give you infinite options for bedrooms, offices, creative spaces. Ladder lofts add whimsy and function; thoughtfully designed storage gives you ample room to settle in. The primary suite at the top of the house is a woodsy retreat with its own private bath and balcony. Amenities in the community include a guest suite for visitors, a tea house, playground, treehouse, community garden, and the beauty of the glorious NW forest. All this, plus easy commutes to downtown and the tech corridor . . . and a coveted school district, including Lincoln High. Come home to Sunlight, the sanctuary you might never have heard of before...and which you've always wanted. *Furnished photos are virtually staged*
