The Story
5570 southwest menefee drive
Perched on a bluff in the hills of Southwest Portland, this exceptional 1928 Tudor Revival commands sweeping views of Mt. Hood and the Willamette River. Inside, the home strikes an artful balance between modern comfort and historic authenticity. Rich red oak flooring pairs beautifully with original millwork, custom ironwork, and period brass fixtures. Graceful Tudor archways and coved ceilings evoke Old World craftsmanship alongside leaded glass casement windows with gum wood trim, charming window seats, and a dramatic curved staircase with a hand-forged iron railing. Whether framed by the oversized picture window or enjoyed from the attached balcony, the great room offers stunning river and mountain views, complemented by an elegant fireplace with a hammered copper hood. These views continue in the formal dining room, providing the perfect backdrop for memorable meals. The kitchen marries period charm with modern functionality through rich gum wood cabinetry, granite countertops, multiple sinks, high-end appliances, and a window-lined breakfast nook. The upper level hosts three bedrooms plus the primary suite - a sophisticated retreat with Willamette and Mt. Hood views, a fireplace, and a luxurious bath with a deep soaking tub and custom mosaic tilework. The lower level offers a family room with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, terrace access, and abundant storage. Capitalizing on an unmatched location, an expansive east-facing terrace delivers panoramic views over a heated infinity pool and hot tub, while multiple gathering areas and a pool house with full kitchen allow for effortless entertaining. An adjacent 0.15-acre buildable lot - offered separately - offers future expansion possibilities. Located steps from scenic Terwilliger Parkway and a short walk to the Chart House, the home is bordered to the north by Marquam Nature Park and its 200 undeveloped acres and miles of trails, with the shops and restaurants of South Portland and downtown just minutes away.
