Colloquially known as the Eyebrow House, this classic 1941 Cape Cod was reimagined by architect Edgar Papazian into one of Portland's most distinctive homes. Using the sweeping dormers that are its namesake, hard angles were swapped for sloped ceilings and curved walls, reorienting the home's focus toward its deep, tree-lined backyard. Inside, a custom double-sided bookcase wraps the stairs and acts as a sculptural centerpiece, alive with a rotation of art and collected artifacts. A wood-burning fireplace w/ elliptical mantel anchors the living room, echoing the same soft geometry found throughout the home. Further inside, a wall of glass turns the backyard into a living backdrop for the remodeled kitchen & dining room as the striking oval cut-out in the porch's tongue-and-groove artfully frames the garden from the dining table. Upstairs, the arched steel roof wraps the serene primary suite in reflected light, w/ triple-glazed windows framing the canopy below. On the main floor, an addtl office/bedroom + full bath with tiled shower enhances the floorplan. An expansive lower level adds a bright family room, two generous bedrooms & another bathroom. Fully retrofitted to current seismic code, the home features radiant heated oak floors while an energy efficient heat pump cools the upstairs. Luxurious upgrades abound: brushed steel towel warmers, tankless water heaters, Wolf gas range, Fisher & Paykel fridge and cylindrical Franke hood. Outside, the deep 125-foot lot, shaped by landscape architect Michael Schultz into a private oasis, protected by towering cedar, Doug fir & palm trees. Built for entertaining & relaxing alike, fire pit, ping pong table, hammock, covered dining & outdoor lighting welcome family + friends. Equidistant from PDX airport/downtown, walkable to Mt Tabor Park & just blocks away from beloved Glencoe Elementary & Mt Tabor Middle Schools, the location is the perfect combination of quiet city life & access to the vibrancy of Portland's Eastside.
