Looking for a Penthouse alternative with no HOA fees, rules or shared walls? Consider this easy care view home with iconic Mt. Hood and cityscape as a constant presence. Built in 1959 & located in the established Kings Heights neighborhood, this sophisticated residence was designed for entertaining friends with a Pacific NW flair. A Sunset Magazine ambiance emanates from this contemporary two-level that has a pristine Mamie Eisenhower original pink tile bath. A 2nd bath features original peach & aqua tile. This was the year the first Barbie doll was issued, the movie Gigi swept the Academy Awards and both Ella Fitzgerald & Elvis Presley were playing on the radio. Honoring the retro features, a permitted remodel was done in 2011 resulting in a dramatic Great Room and opened up sight lines creating natural flow & airy feel that captures the south light and views of both cityscape and Mt. Hood. Oak floors, a gas fireplace with Carrara marble surround, custom built-in cabinets, a to-the-studs high end kitchen, and an expanded mahogany deck were thoughtful modern updates. The kitchen has a generous-sized carrara marble island with wet bar, 6 burner Kenmore Pro gas range, SubZero refrigerator, Sharp microwave drawer & Miele dishwasher. You even see Mt. Hood while doing dishes! The lower level floor plan is versatile with original green-grey slate floor entry, an open wood staircase and a large bedroom suite w/ updated full bath.
