Located near Multnomah Village and perched above a low-traffic dead-end street, with views across and down the valley toward the coast, this custom home is sited to capture both privacy and long green views, drawing light into every room. The distant sightlines do double duty — bringing the outdoors in while making already-generous rooms feel larger still. Morning tea comes with dappled light through the trees, a front-row seat to the weather rolling in or a glorious sunsets from the front yard or inside the house. Room to spread out, or come together. Great room, living room, dining room, kitchen, and family room flow into one another — large adjacent spaces that flex easily between communal gatherings and quiet corners for one. The kitchen anchors the center of the house, with the formal living and dining rooms on one side and the great room opening on the other. Cook with company, or cook while the party happens around you. Four bedrooms are on the second floor. The primary suite is a genuine retreat: a large soaking tub, separate shower, and a substantial walk-in closet. Generous storage in every bedroom, along the hallway, and throughout the house keeps daily life running smoothly. Off the great room, a spacious family room flexes for whatever the day calls for — media, workouts, or play, from treadmill and yoga to ping pong and foosball — and converts just as easily into a fifth bedroom or a separate living space for multigenerational households. Out back, a large patio and parking area set up front-row for an inspiring sunrise or cool evening dining, offering privacy, birdsong, and greenery all around. This home is truly special from sun up to sun down! Improvements include, but not limited to: New FS stove, new paint inside and out, heat pump 2024 (12 yr warranty), vinyl windows 2023 (lifetime warranty), new roof 2022, water heater 2021, furnace 2020.

The Rinehart House | A 1907 Emil Schacht Craftsman, Restored. Locals call it the Doctor's House. Built in 1907 to a design attributed to Emil Schacht, it was first owned by Emily Belle Cooper, who crossed the Oregon Trail as a baby and became one of the first women physicians in Oregon. Her family held it for 84 years. Then it sat empty. What followed was a restoration, not a remodel. What mattered stayed: original inlaid oak floors, coved ceilings, pocket doors, leaded glass, and Honduran mahogany millwork. The new work was cut to match: a hand forged stair rail built to the 1907 profile, custom inset cabinetry, beveled stone counters, one piece marble sinks from Turkey, terra cotta tile imported from France, and handmade tile in every bath. Behind the finishes, the house is new. Plumbing, electrical, roof, insulation, and HVAC were all replaced. A 1907 house that performs like a 2026 one. Five bedrooms and four and a half baths across four levels. The entire second floor belongs to the primary suite: bedroom, steam shower, soaking tub, fireplace lounge with black lacquered ceiling, private balcony, and a second bedroom with its own full bath. A rare full floor primary in a home this age. The lowest level once held pharmaceutical storage, and money tucked into the walls from the Depression. It is now an entertainment cellar with a wet bar and its own guest entrance. Over 1,000 square feet of outdoor living across four decks and balconies. City, bridge, and mountain views from nearly every room. Two fireplaces, central air, EV ready attached garage. Washington Park, downtown, Multnomah Athletic Club, Zupans, and NW Portland are all a walk from the door. Featured on the 2024 NW Natural Street of Dreams. Ninety years of one family. The next chapter is yours to write. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10221908]
