A prime John Storrs Mid Century Modern is waiting for you. Part of a great history, 4 friends in 1957 had John Storrs build 4 homes on an acre, just below the trail to Fairmont and Council Crest Park, this home, known as the Wilson House, nestles into the SW Hills above Hillsdale with expansive views in a tranquil neighborhood. The outdoor living is exceptional with an expansive walk-out patio from the main floor and front deck that beckons all for sunset viewing. Below is a stone patio with garden landscaping color all year round. The small hillside is filled with hydrangeas that love the limelight and stairs leading you to a larger stone patio with a fire pit and chairs. Thoughtful modern restoration was sensitively applied to this custom built home with the clear vertical grain fir wood re-sanded and oiled to bring out its original beauty. The kitchen was designed to appear original with new cabinetry seamlessly blending into the restored pieces. A cooks dream with all Fisher Paykel appliances and built-in Miele convection steam oven combo along with the two deep built in storage cabinets to store all the kitchen items one might desire. The downstairs incorporated small design changes as it was remodeled down to the studs. A work room became an ensuite primary alternative or guest room. An approximate 400 wine wall was built in and insulated to not require refrigeration and a half bath/laundry was added in addition to a wired sound media room with built-ins and sink for convenience. Another work room was converted to a small bedroom or could be part of the primary downstairs as a large dressing room. An office was created using the fireplace as a backdrop. Upstairs the newer fir doors were added to match the fir windows creating consistency with the mid-century look as do the newer floor coverings, refinished hard woods and wool carpeting. Such a great home and setting in the fun Hillsdale and Multnomah area. Seller is licensed realtor in state of Oregon [Home Energy Score = 2.
