590 NW Saint Helens
secluded contemporary in the close-in northwest hills
This northwest contemporary style residence is on a private road high in the foothills of northwest portland. With a northeast orientation, the site looks over the northwest hills towards Mt St Helens. The close in location is minutes from downtown Portland, NW 23rd Avenue, and the Pearl districts. It also offers easy access to the west side and the highway 26 corridor.
The forested site offers a serene counterpoint to the nearby city bustle. Large decks off of the main living areas provide great connection to the outdoors, a connection further enhanced by the generous use of windows throughout the house.
Kitchen and dining are open to the main living area with dramatic 2 story floor to ceiling windows. The open plan and large volumes set up a wonderful dynamic resulting in a very nice ..... the master takes up the entire upper level. The barrell vaulted ceiling sets up the large bedroom area with windows taking advantage of the forest views. Two walk-in closets provide plenty of storage.
