(503) 893-8874Some homes are built simply to shelter, others are built to inspire, beckoning you inside with what matters most, while also encouraging you to seek connection with the natural world. This custom-designed 2 story, mid-century home does just that. Built in 1952, by prominent Portland builder, James Milne, as his personal residence, there is care here you can feel in the details. From the moment the driveway draws you toward the home and its surrounding nature, painted a deep overcast blue that mirrors Pacific Northwest skies receding into the treeline—this home feels settled, unhurried, like it has always belonged here. Inside, unique design touches, such as the vertical grain hemlock panels lining walls throughout, lend warmth and an almost spa-like feel. The living room’s black granite fireplace, flanked by an eyecatching built-in bookcase, focuses the space. Corner windows dissolve the boundary between inside and out, inviting both intimate entertaining and quiet nights at home. As you move through the house, past a well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops, a stunning gallery awaits, bathed in natural light, poured through generous twin skylights. The perfect place for quiet contemplation and a cup of tea. Staged with contemporary designs that complement the home's mid-century bones, it bridges decades with minimalist ease, proving that great design is genuinely timeless. With 5 bedrooms, dedicated office, and large family room, this home offers flexible living. But it may just be the grounds that capture your heart. Flowering ornamental cherry and magnolia trees frame the slate patio and stone retaining wall. Camellias bloom along the borders of this lush yard, while a wooded buffer rises behind the house to provide privacy, like a vibrant living curtain. Here, beneath open skies, nature takes center stage—“trees of green, skies of blue, flowers in bloom—a wonderful world,” all yours. A tranquil retreat just minutes from everything Portland has to offer.
