Introducing Sunspell. Morning light arrives through the kitchen, then takes its time crossing the oak floors. The island holds breakfast, homework, chopping, and whoever wanders in while dinner comes together. Later, the fireplace ignites, and things get cozy. Built in 2017, Sunspell has generous proportions and a layout that brings people together without asking everyone to do the same thing in the same room. The main floor holds the kitchen, dining room, and living space in one bright sweep, with an airy home office just beyond the two-way fireplace. Wooden stair slats, built-in bookshelves, and small hits of color give the clean lines some soul. Upstairs, the second living room keeps its own hours: movies, music, Sunday crosswords, a door left open while somebody works nearby. Laundry is just down the hall, close to the bedrooms. The primary suite faces west through a wall of windows. From bed, watch the trees bud, the leaves turn, crows cross the sky, and storms move over the city. The last light lands here. So does the soaking tub. Downstairs, a full bath and mini-split complete a guest suite with its own exterior entrance. There’s separation for visitors to unpack and settle in, whether they come for a weekend or stay a little longer. Outside, the house keeps offering places to land: a front porch for dog greetings and neighborhood news, a sunny back deck off the main floor, a gas firepit out back when the air turns cool. Within two blocks, there’s pinball, sushi, coffee, cocktails, and pizza. Head to Grout Elementary for the unofficial five o’clock dog social. Kenilworth Park is close enough for an impromptu picnic, and longer strolls lead to the Rhododendron Garden and the ducks at Eastmoreland Park. It’s a small, lively world just outside your door. Great on paper, even better in person. Come see Sunspell in its best light. [Home Energy Score = 8. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10171546]

Set on .71 acres in Vista Hills, this singular home may have a history reaching well beyond its recorded build date. The site is thought to have housed the way station for overnight travelers between Portland and Hillsboro along the historic Canyon Road corridor, route of the Great Plank Road in the 1850s. Beginning in the 1970s, the owner, an architect, transformed the structure through a sequence of additions, creating a distinctly Pacific Northwest home of wood, glass and unexpected geometries. Skylights, floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple decks, including a rooftop terrace, open the house to the surrounding woods, while the dramatic original stone fireplace remains at its heart, connecting its earliest history to the home that has grown around it.
