Located at 1947 NW Overton St in Portland, Oregon, this single-floor space offers a thoughtfully designed open-concept layout that seamlessly blends contemporary style with comfortable, functional living. The living area serves as the centerpiece of the space, anchored by a striking floor-to-ceiling tile accent wall that houses a wall-mounted flat-screen TV above a sleek linear electric fireplace. Rich leather armchairs, a tufted blue velvet sofa, and a solid wood coffee table create an inviting and well-curated seating arrangement. A reclaimed wood accent wall adds warmth and texture to the adjacent area, complemented by a decorative sunburst mirror. Recessed lighting and a mini-split HVAC unit provide comfort throughout. The kitchen is efficiently laid out with stainless steel appliances including a full-size refrigerator, range with overhead hood, and dishwasher, along with wood-toned cabinetry and dark countertops. Open shelving adds a modern touch. A long wooden dining table with bar-height stools sits beneath a trio of striking geometric gold pendant lights, bridging the kitchen and living areas. French doors open directly to a covered outdoor patio, allowing natural light to fill the interior and providing a smooth indoor-outdoor connection. The consistent large-format tile flooring throughout ties the space together with a clean, modern aesthetic.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
