Property Description

Clear vertical-grain cedar & hemlock, expansive walls of glass, warm wood interiors, and a dramatic central fireplace reflect an era when homes were designed with purpose and individuality. Original architectural details, a secluded courtyard, & lush and established landscaping create a setting that feels distinctly Pacific Northwest.Purchased in 1955 by Dr. Malcolm Macdougal, who served as head anesthesiologist at Providence Hospital for 40 years, the home carries a remarkable connection to Portland's past.Set among the winding, tree-lined streets of Portland's coveted Council Crest and Doctor's Hill area, the property offers a wonderful balance of privacy, natural beauty, and proximity to the city.
