Own a legacy. Live the architecture. Where art meets everyday living: this 1955 Mid-Century Modern gem—designed by the legendary John Storrs—is available to the public for the first time since 1955. A rare opportunity to own a masterful design that blends timeless form with livable function, all on a serene corner lot in a well-established Northeast neighborhood. Step inside, and you’ll immediately feel that harmony. Natural light pours through large original wood-framed windows and multiple skylights, highlighting the warm Hemlock wall paneling and recently refinished solid bamboo flooring. The open, post-and-beam layout allows for an easy flow of energy and movement, making daily living feel both grounded and inspired. Thoughtfully refreshed to honor Storrs’ original design while enhancing comfort and livability: new interior and exterior paint; new wall-to-wall carpet in bedrooms; remodeled bathroom with bamboo-style tile, low-barrier shower, updated vanity, and retro honeycomb flooring; high vaulted ceilings; wood-burning fireplace; stainless-steel appliances with Viking gas range and new disposer, stainless steel cabinetry below and bamboo veneer cabinets above the granite counter top; abundant built-ins, efficient use of space; newer (2 years old) architectural shingle roof with all-new sheathing. The extraordinary 4-car oversized garage, designed in 2009 by Greg Hanken, echoes the home's architectural language satisfying just as much car as quality construction enthusiasts. High vaulted ceiling; 8"-deep exposed aggregate floors; extra-thick footings; insulated 2x6 walls; premium lighting; ceiling fans; Milgard dual-panel windows; wall-mounted shop heat; dedicated electric panel, and newer architectural shingle roof. Backyard features a koi pond, a matching tool shed, and a new fence. Besides Storrs' public work, his designs command premium value to collectors and those seeking architectural significance and a connection to Portland's architectural legacy. [Home Energy Score = 1.

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.

— Jagathishp

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.

— Praveen

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.

— Alishetty

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.
