PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Hawthorne Modern at Vista Hills. . . There are houses that inhabit an era, and there are houses that transcend it. Set in Portland's coveted Vista Hills, this exceptional 1968 one-level ranch has been thoughtfully reimagined under the direction of Designer Traci Baughman. Belluschi-inspired geometry, a low-slung profile, and a seamless connection to the landscape honor its mid-century origins while embracing contemporary living. Arrival is an experience itself. A private courtyard unfolds behind a dramatic rock wall, where a cascading waterfall meets a tranquil 2,500-gallon koi pond. Inside, a soaring vaulted great room creates both drama and intimacy, while the dining room flows into a beautifully appointed kitchen with dedicated cooks and serving islandsspaces designed as much for entertaining as for everyday life.Expansive walls of glass dissolve the boundary between interior and garden, drawing the eye toward a magnificent Tulip Poplar tree and gracious patio. The detached, fully finished studio offers refuge for work or quiet reflection. A custom seven-foot wall of flames is a dramatic focal point, transforming the garden into an extraordinary setting for cocktails, dinners, conversation, and connection. Landscape architecture and lighting by Richard Schultz and a sculptural Corten steel installation by Lukas Shuler complete a vision rarely so fully realized creating a thoughtful balance between architecture, art, and nature. More than a renovation, Hawthorne Modern is a considered reinterpretation of mid-century designpreserving the intelligence of the original while creating a home made to be lived in, shared, and remembered. A rare synthesis of architecture, landscape, and design in one of Sothwest Portland's most coveted enclaves.
