3475 NE 32nd Ave Portland, OR 97212

Perched on the Alameda hillside with views of Mount Tabor and the West Hills, this property offers a rare blend of comfort, character, and refinement. The layout is generous, with high-ceilinged gathering spaces, a moody study, a light-filled office, and a neighborhood rarity—an attached two-car garage—all preserved in their original configuration. Streamline Moderne details—curved walls, glass block windows, and strong horizontal lines—give the home its distinct personality. Other original features, such as maple and fir floors, walnut paneling, and zebra-stripe doors, have been carefully maintained and complemented by recent updates: marble tiling in the baths, soapstone kitchen countertops, integrated appliances, and a new HVAC system for year-round comfort. Light landscape editing has opened up sightlines and framed the home’s handsome architecture, while maintaining the privacy created by the multiple outdoor living zones and the serene backyard pond. Designed in 1940 by award-winning architect Edward J. Green as his personal residence, the home reflects a quiet confidence in its materials and proportions. It’s part of the architectural story of Portland, and part of the daily rhythm of Alameda, just blocks from top-rated schools and the beloved bike bus. This is a home that’s been improved with reverence for the original design, and is positioned to offer comfortable, elevated living for its next chapter.
