a Mid Century that’s Mint to be Yours

A little slice of Palm Springs in Portland, this one-level ranch is a bonafide retro goldmine with smart modernizations.

Step back in time and soak in the delicious living room lighting, built-in planters, big windows, sandstone fireplace with hearth, and bygone era aesthetics.

The minty cool kitchen with skylight and loads of space has oodles of potential for updating or enhancing, and there's a dining area for casual meals.

We love the large communal bathroom with kitsch touches. Three good-sized bedrooms offer flexibility, and the primary bedroom has a cute ensuite bathroom.

An expansive and beautifully illuminated family room is the focal point of this home, with walls of windows for an indoor/outdoor feel, and sweeping views of the spacious, fenced backyard.

This is where the action is at, with a classic kidney-shaped pool, drought-resistant hugelkultur beds, tropical palms, and myriad fruiting trees and bushes (apple, cherry, pear, blueberry, plum, grape...). Perfect for springtime soirees and summer pool parties, this is an outdoor host-with-the-most fantasy - bring on the flamingo floaties and cheese fondue. Solar panelling, energy efficient updates, and a 24kw generator for power outages usher this beautiful home into a modern setting.

Perfectly positioned in the serene Argay neighborhood, and a stone's throw from Luuwit View Park and Community Garden, this gorgeous mid-century gem is a whole vibe!
