Offer received. Offer deadline 7/17 at noon. First time on the market! Tucked at the edge of Forest Park this one-of-a-kind NW Contemporary retreat is equal parts art, architecture & sanctuary. Hand-built in 1981 by renowned local builder Bill Hughes, interior designer Nancy Richmond and Portland Japanese garden visionary Masa Mizuno. It's one of Oregon’s first passive solar homes—designed to live in harmony with the land. Light pours through floor-to-ceiling windows, dancing off herringbone brick floors and wood-lined ceilings. A Trombe Wall captures the sun by day and releases warmth by night. The kitchen offers garden views, white oak cabinetry, marble tile & clever design details. Two vaulted bedrooms plus a magical third-floor vaulted loft—perfect for dreaming, meditating, or stargazing. Step outside to a 2023 natural wood deck with wide comfortable steps that lead to a level lawn, bordered by perennials and mature trees. Stone pathways & gardens designed in part by Masa Mizuno. 2 whimsical outbuildings, above the home, include a wood-fired sauna, composting toilet & even an outdoor shower for true forest bathing. Don’t miss “Frog Rock,” multiple fruit trees, fenced garden with raised beds & a 3-acre invisible dog fence. Private, peaceful, and just 20 minutes to downtown—this is where forest fairy tales meet everyday life. (There are 2 full baths, one bath shares a toilet. See attached flyer/floor plan) [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10239138]

Some properties which appear for sale on this web site may subsequently have sold or may no longer be available.
Venkat is a very good negotiator. He was quick to respond, when I had questions. He came to all the meetings with the seller and provided valuable inputs on inspections and mortgage options. Overall, I was impressed and would love to work with him again.
Venkat is very professional and has tremendous knowledge in the real estate industry. He was always available to discuss and made time to visit the construction site several times during the course. I was looking at a new construction and had to wait for the property to be built.
Muthu has good knowledge about the community and understands the needs of his customers. He helped us sell our house in record time and followed up with the buyer and the agent until the complete closure. We received multiple offers and Muthu negotiated well and helped us decide on the buyer.
Venkat Muthu is a wonderful person to go with. Very friendly and advices as per the need and gives his service and support where and when needed and some times going beyond. Really happy to share the review and I highly recommend if anyone is looking for any homes.
Venkat is great to work with as realtor. He is very patient and listens to the requests of the buyer or seller and doesn’t push as t any point of time. He has a good understanding of the market situation and location for investments as well. All this comes from experience with him recently buying a home.
