Set on .71 acres in Vista Hills, this singular home may have a history reaching well beyond its recorded build date. The site is thought to have housed the way station for overnight travelers between Portland and Hillsboro along the historic Canyon Road corridor, route of the Great Plank Road in the 1850s. Beginning in the 1970s, the owner, an architect, transformed the structure through a sequence of additions, creating a distinctly Pacific Northwest home of wood, glass and unexpected geometries. Skylights, floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple decks, including a rooftop terrace, open the house to the surrounding woods, while the dramatic original stone fireplace remains at its heart, connecting its earliest history to the home that has grown around it.
