OPEN SATURDAY 7/12 1-4: First time on the market! Tucked at the edge of Forest Park this one-of-a-kind NW Contemporary retreat is equal parts art, architecture & sanctuary. Hand-built in 1981 by renowned local builder Bill Hughes, interior designer Nancy Richmond and Portland Japanese garden visionary Masa Mizuno. It's one of Oregon’s first passive solar homes—designed to live in harmony with the land. Light pours through floor-to-ceiling windows, dancing off herringbone brick floors and wood-lined ceilings. A Trombe Wall captures the sun by day and releases warmth by night. The kitchen offers garden views, white oak cabinetry, marble tile & clever design details. Two vaulted bedrooms plus a magical third-floor vaulted loft—perfect for dreaming, meditating, or stargazing. Step outside to a 2023 natural wood deck with wide comfortable steps that lead to a level lawn, bordered by perennials and mature trees. Stone pathways & gardens designed in part by Masa Mizuno. 2 whimsical outbuildings, above the home, include a wood-fired sauna, composting toilet & even an outdoor shower for true forest bathing. Don’t miss “Frog Rock,” multiple fruit trees, fenced garden with raised beds & a 3-acre invisible dog fence. Private, peaceful, and just 20 minutes to downtown—this is where forest fairytales meet everyday life. (There are 2 full baths one bath shares a toilet. See floorplan) [Home Energy Score = 1.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
