A striking modern transformation in the heart of Southeast Portland, this 1948 home was completely reimagined in 2018. Its distinctive shou sugi ban cedar siding creates an unforgettable first impression, while the interior delivers a thoughtful balance of dramatic design, flexibility, and everyday comfort. The main level unfolds into a spacious open-concept living area designed for gathering and entertaining. Tucked away for privacy, the main-level primary suite features a generous walk-in closet with built-in organizers and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. A dedicated exercise area within the partially converted garage is also conveniently accessible from the main floor, and delivers plenty of room for weights, machines, cardio equipment, or aerial silks.
