Tucked among towering sequoias on a quiet street in Portland’s prestigious Vista Hills, this unique mid-century raised ranch offers a rare blend of forested serenity, timeless charm, and thoughtful updates—all just minutes from the city. Built in 1951 on over half an acre, the property evokes the peaceful feel of a woodland retreat with the convenience of suburban living. Inside, natural light floods the home through large windows that frame picturesque views of the tree-lined grounds. The flowing floor plan connects cozy living spaces, including two wood-burning fireplaces and a spacious second-story deck—perfect for morning coffee or evening wine amidst the trees. The main level features a spacious living room, dining room, and primary suite. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, with rich cherry cabinetry (some glass-front), granite countertops, a sage subway tile backsplash, and premium Bosch appliances, including a gas cooktop, double ovens, and integrated dishwasher. A coffee nook and countertop bar create inviting spaces to gather. Downstairs, find custom built-in shelving, track lighting, and a long hallway ideal for an art gallery or display space. A versatile bonus room serves perfectly as an art studio, office, playroom, or craft area. Additional highlights include central A/C, a finished garage, raised garden beds, detached storage, and a fully fenced yard. Among the home’s most enchanting features is a winding timber staircase leading into a private forest sanctuary—ideal for forest bathing or quiet exploration under the giant sequoias. With top-rated schools (OES, Catlin Gabel, Jesuit, Sunset High) nearby, plus quick access to shops, nature preserves, and downtown Portland, this rare gem offers both tranquility and convenience.
