The Story
4910 Southwest Humphrey Park Road
Originally constructed by noted mid-century builder/designer, Allison Dean, and meticulously cared for by the same family for the past 55 years, this exceptionally well-designed, well-built, and well-cared for home is ready for its next, very lucky owner! Set on its own private perch above the street, with walls of windows and forested views from every room, this 1970s Humphrey Park gem is a veritable sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the nearby city. The impeccably designed and timeless floor plan is as suited to today’s lifestyle as it was to its original era, with both formal and informal main floor living spaces, a kitchen open to the family room, easy, unfettered flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, a beautifully proportioned primary suite with walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom, lower-level family room, rec room and loads of storage! With gorgeous, solid oak floors, fabulous built-ins, walls of windows, fun ‘70s-era design details and gracious room proportions, this home achieves an elusive balance of being both elegant and comfortable, cozy yet sophisticated. And with a new roof, new furnace, new heat pump, and new whole-house generator installed in 2024, the hard stuff is done! This super central location offers multiple, quick, easy routes into downtown Portland, the Northwest District, and Beaverton and feeds into some of Portland’s most desirable public schools: Bridlemile Elementary, Sylvan Middle School and Lincoln High. And if the private back deck and forested views don’t quite satisfy your itch for nature, access to Portland’s Marquam Trail system, which connects to the Hoyt Arboretum and the vast Wildwood Trail network, is just a mile from your front door. From architecture and design to setting and location, this is what living in the Pacific Northwest is all about!
