The story
- Basement
Quiet and serene, come hear for yourself! Located in one of the most storybook-green pockets of Portland Heights, this house doesn’t just look out at nature - it lives inside it. Every window frames its own little forested wonder: leaves rustling outside the glass, birdsong as your soundtrack, and a sense of privacy so complete you’ll forget you have neighbors at all. There’s a calm that settles over you the moment you walk in—the kind of good energy that’s hard to manufacture but easy to feel. Inside, the primary suite claims an entire floor of its own, tucked away as a genuine retreat and place to reset. On the main level, the living room has walls of windows and a vaulted cedar-plank ceiling that make it nearly impossible to tell whether you’re inside the house or inside the woods. The kitchen surprises with a sunroom that floods the space with gorgeous, warm light, especially lovely before you’ve even had your first sip of coffee. The lower level offers two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a family room ready for games or cozy movie nights by the fireplace. And then there’s the yard—terraced, sprawling, and designed to reset your nervous system just by standing in it. The home has practical magic, too: storage tucked into every corner, much of it not even counted in the square footage (consider it a bonus round) plus a location zoned for strong public schools and within easy reach of excellent private options. This isn’t just a home near nature. It’s a home that forgot it wasn’t a treehouse.
