Listed at $1.6M, This Portland Midcentury Was Ahead of Its Time

The home was awarded a Gold Medallion for its cutting-edge, all-electric design in the ’60s—and it looks just as sharp today.

Location: 6323 NW Manor Drive, Portland, Oregon

Price: $1,585,000

Year Built: 1960

Footprint: 2,658 square feet (three bedrooms, five baths)

Lot Size: 0.33 acres

From the Agent: "This striking midcentury home is located in a secluded pocket of NW Portland’s Skyline neighborhood, which also boasts a collection of other significant architectural gems. Originally a ‘Live Better Electrically—Gold Medallion Home,’ the dwelling was thoughtfully reenvisioned in 2013 by its owners, a pair of creative directors obsessed with design and modern architecture, and it shows. The renovation of this primarily single-level home resulted in an added family room on the lower level, three full–en suite bedrooms, five baths, three outdoor living/entertainment areas, and inclusion into the 2015 Portland Modern Homes Tour."


The revived home sits in a secluded, wooded neighborhood that adjoins Forest Park. A massive trail system, including a trailhead, is just a short walk from the property.
