Property Description

The Good Fortune House: When this family lost out on the home of their dreams, they did not settle for a copy. They went straight to the builder and asked for something better: a house that kept the traditional elements they loved but pushed the scale and proportion further. Their version modernized the formal living spaces, and expanded what would traditionally have been compressed rooms, sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically, to create something even fresher. And why not add a true modern carriage house (fully permitted ADU and detached garage) on this oversized lot. It is designed to read as two homes, sited to make the most of every inch of the property and provide maximum privacy for both. The carriage house ADU is justified to the rear of the lot, while the main home holds a traditional setback from the street. The result is a large, sunny backyard most homes this size cannot offer, plus a coast-to-coast covered front porch that brings the house to life along the street. This home is a real transformer. The detached ADU can serve as a private office, a long-term rental, a mid-term or short-term rental, or a luxury clubhouse for the main house. The first-floor bedroom with full bath allows for a whole other myriad of flex possibilities. However it is used today, it can change with whatever comes next. The permutations of program feel endless. [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10200588]
