1615 S GREENWOOD RDPortland, OR, 97219

There is a particular ease to a home reimagined from the ground up, one as beautiful to live in as it is effortless to run. Designed by Richard Sundeleaf, The interiors at 1615 Greenwood carry a warm, faintly European sensibility, evident in every proportion and finish. A front door originally owned by Mark Twain, wide plank floors, white oak, brass fixtures, and wood-frame windows come together in rooms designed to set the stage for a life both relaxed and quietly refined. Privacy is the great luxury here. Set in a quiet clearing, the house looks out to trees from every window, so each room feels held within its own forested world. Above all, the home was made for gathering. The chef's kitchen anchors daily life with a generous center island and a dedicated coffee bar with its own sink, new cabinetry and counters paired with a cook's dream suite of appliances: Sub-Zero, Bertazzoni, a gas range, and a quiet Thermador dishwasher. The living spaces open easily toward one another and out to the grounds, where the entertaining truly unfolds. Multiple covered patios extend the season and the hour, from morning coffee oh the patio to long dinners beneath a pergola, softly lit well into the evening. Privacy carries indoors as well, where bedrooms are designed as private retreats, most with an en-suite bath. The primary suite is a world of its own, with multiple closets and a walk-through wardrobe, while generous linen and bonus storage mean everything has its place. What you cannot see matters just as much: dual furnaces and air units, standing-seam metal and TPO roofing, a 75-gallon Hydro-Jet water heater, and smart-home systems that keep the house quietly humming. Rare, established fruit trees, a huge mature cherry among plum, fig, and paw paw, lend a sense of age and abundance. Moments from the trails of Tryon Creek and the exceptional Riverdale schools, this is a private retreat that loves company.
