Welcome to 'Beacon Traverse,' the stellar view property situated between the two pivotal landmarks atop Rocky Butte. With stunning views from nearly every room in the residence, the specific design significance is particularly captivating through the use of numerous wood grains and texture choices throughout to create an open, yet cozy, appeal with a definitive nod to the Northwest Modern lifestyle. Built by a noted architect who lived in close proximity, the home features three generous decks and a flat side yard with rockwork features. Two upstairs bedrooms have primary appeal with ensuite bathrooms and distinct views of both the downtown skyline and the West Hills/Forest Park and Mt Tabor. The unique placement of the home offers low maintenance landscape while affording park-like qualities that shield it from the street as a private retreat. The design highlights personal spaces while the main floor acts as a convivial gathering level designed to promote 'in the round' flow for gracious entertaining. Watching the seasons change, the July 4th Fireworks on the horizon, and rich colors of the sunsets that create a constantly evolving canvas that can be a source of inspiration and reflection. The 'soft side' of the Butte presents a tranquil alternative to 205 freeway buzz and a horizon in motion with dazzling city lights. View photos (day/night) are from deck. New AC, new garage opener, complete furnace refurbishment 2025 + new fan. Ask your broker to access additional online folio material. [Home Energy Score = 3.

I’m the Managing Principal Broker of Fiv Realty in both Oregon and Washington. I’ve got 21 years of experience in the business, and my passion is helping people make money through real estate, whether that is helping them sell their house for more money than they thought possible, helping buyers find bargains that fit their needs and have easy gains in equity, or helping investors buy properties with good cap rates.  My specialties are helping downsizers, heirs to an estate, and investors in residential real estate. I approach real estate through a data/driven laser focused lens because I am originally an engineer so analyzing pricing and market trends comes naturally to me.
