Set in a hilly neighborhood surrounded by parks, this restored 1941 five-bedroom home is also just 15 minutes from downtown. One of the two Oregon houses designed by famed modernist architect Richard Neutra, it has custom built-ins; walls of windows with mountain, river, and city views; sleek fireplaces; a streamlined kitchen open to a dining space and skylit sitting area; and an entertainer’s deck.
From a hilltop five minutes’ drive from Washington Park, this five-bedroom Georgian Colonial looks out on Mount St. Helens and the Willamette River. The updated 1908 mansion retains the original stained glass and carved-wood columns, staircase, fireplace surrounds, coffered ceilings, paneling, built-ins, and French doors; rooms include a historic ballroom with city views.
