A rare mid-century treasure with mountain views, on the market for the first time since 1965. Custom-built in 1957 for a Forestry Department employee, this striking Northwest Contemporary embodies the era’s love of nature and modern design. Forest-inspired materials enrich every room—Phillipine Mahogany in the entryway, sand-blasted White Fir in the living room, and Limba in the primary suite. Clerestory windows embedded with delicate botanicals add a one-of-a-kind artistic touch. The dramatic living room boasts vaulted open-beam ceilings, a striking basalt rock wall with a Swedish fireplace featuring a cantilevered hearth and floor-to-ceiling windows with sweeping mountain views. The daylight basement has a spacious family room that opens to a patio on an oversized lot with a well-curated collection of trees including mature apple trees and a magnificent Atlas Cedar. Located just minutes from Thatcher Park and downtown Forest Grove, this home is ready to be restored to its original glory. A true mid-century gem, where timeless design meets the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
