Custom-designed Northwest Contemporary on 1.75 acres in Pleasant Valley! This property defies categorization - it is truly unique. Pacific NW architect Mel Streeter designed this home with multi-generational living in mind as there are three distinct one-level living spaces: the main home has a vaulted, lodge-like great room w/ walls of windows, and a primary retreat with a bonus loft area for your meditation practice. A lower level apartment has both an interior & exterior entrance w/ great room, kitchenette, sleeping area and an updated bathroom. (A shared common area separates these two spaces for togetherness time, if desired.) A third living space is an attached one-level studio with a private entrance and its own covered outdoor space. The main home has always been owner-occupied while the other two units have been utilized as needed for aging-in-place parents, young adults slowly preparing to leave the nest only to briefly return again, and even as income-producing rentals. So many options! Outside is where the real magic begins, however. The property abuts the Wahoo Creek Natural Area where birds, rabbits, deer, coyotes and other wildlife peacefully coexist in a protected greenspace. Watch its seasonal beauty unfold from your treehouse-like perch on the wrap-around deck. Enjoy the solitude and tranquility because you'll encounter few neighbors in the lush surroundings and little traffic on the private, dead-end street. There's also plenty of parking for your outdoor gear, camper van, full-sized RV, and watercraft. A workshop provides space for home projects, side gigs, gardening, creative endeavors or whatever your heart desires. Plenty of indoor storage as well. Live slightly off the grid while maintaining easy access to I-205, Happy Valley, Powell Butte, Leach Botanical Garden and more! [Home Energy Score = 3.
