<\/p>\n

A striking, midcentury modern residence in Portland, OR<\/a>, needed just two weeks on the market to attract a buyer. Listed for $850,000, the home is pending sale.<\/p>\n

Designed by local architect Henry Bergman, <\/strong>the one-owner, well-preserved property<\/a> stands out with its unique regional style.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe architectural design is significant, because it has got that Northern California ranch vibe to it,\u201d says listing agent Marisa Swenson<\/strong>, of Modern Homes Collective. \u201cArtists are attracted to the home because of its Pacific Northwest style. The home itself has been preserved, maintained, and updated and stays connected to nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

Built in 1966, the 2,139-square-foot, four-bedroom abode has a shingle-clad exterior and post-and-beam construction, with cedar planks and glass walls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are high ceilings, minimalist ornamentation, huge panes of glass, and high-end wood,\u201d Swenson notes.<\/p>\n

Striking interiors<\/h2>\n

Beyond the blue front door is a sunken living room with hardwood floors, oversized bay windows overlooking the wooded lot, a brick fireplace, and cantilevered hearth that separates the room from the dining area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fireplace is truly a statement piece,\u201d Swenson says.<\/p>\n

The property, which is tucked into a forest, is also just two minutes from shops and boutiques. Swenson notes that the listing includes preserved green space and a second lot behind the home, for an \u201cadded layer of natural privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plentiful windows make for a light and bright interior.<\/p>\n

The solarium offers a sunny escape.<\/p>\n

Standout solarium<\/h2>\n

One of the home\u2019s most remarkable features is its solarium, which has a wood-burning stove and built-in rock garden set in a brick bed against vaulted-glass windows.<\/p>\n

The rock garden\u2019s design objective is to naturally heat the rocks and tile floor during the day, thereby providing an efficient heat source at night. The home also has forced-air for heating and central air for cooling.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe addition in 1980 of the solarium was huge,\u201d Swenson says. \u201cThe room is just bathed in sunlight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dining area provides a more formal eating space.<\/p>\n

The eat-in kitchen has abundant storage.<\/p>\n

A nearby galley kitchen boasts original wood cabinetry and stainless steel appliances.<\/p>\n

The spacious primary suite is situated on the first floor, along with another bedroom. Meanwhile, two more bedrooms and a full bath are on the lower level.<\/p>\n

The primary bedroom is a cozy spot.<\/p>\n

The deck is large enough for a table and chairs.<\/p>\n

Set on more than a half-acre, the home has a private backyard that can be viewed from an elevated, main-level deck. There is also an attached studio\/workshop with its own entry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe owner was an avid gardener and used the studio as a potting shed,\u201d Swenson says. \u201cIt has good windows and high ceilings and could be finished for an office or larger art studio.\u201d<\/p>\n

The listing received 10 offers that went \u201cquite above\u201d the asking price, she reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the people who have responded to the listing are creative buyers,\u201d Swenson says, adding that the majority of them were interested in the home as a primary residence. \u201cNearly everyone who walked in has said they would not change a thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
