Property Description

A home for a purposeful life — or as we say in Portland, permaculture in the front, agriculture in the back. Loewen wood windows and three deep Velux skylights create a fenestration pattern that illuminates the home with natural light, even on Portland’s grayest days. Full insulation from attic to floor creates an exceptionally quiet, cozy interior. A standing-seam metal roof, soapstone-clad wood stove, mini splits, and an onsite potable rainwater harvester with a 2,500-gallon UV-filtered storage tank support long-term sustainability. The home carries a green energy score of 9.Designed by the co-founder and first market manager of the Montavilla Farmers Market, the home reflects a contemporary iteration of The Whole Earth Catalog meets West Coast modernity, where self-sufficiency pairs with community connection. Walk to Mt. Tabor Park, neighborhood bike shops, Mr. Plywood, and tool rental, or enjoy yoga studios, crystal shops, pet supplies, an emergency pet clinic, the historic Academy Theater, Portland Community College, and Bridger Dog Park — all from a home imagined for quiet, light-filled, sustainable living.
