Built by one of Portland's most respected mid-century builders and developers, Ted Asbahr, this exceptional Russell Neighborhood home is a showcase of authentic mid-century design. From the striking curb appeal and private front patio to the welcoming foyer with gleaming hardwood floors, every detail feels timeless and intentional.Original book-matched oak paneling and custom cabinetry crafted by the home's original owner create a warm architectural backdrop preserved for decades. The living room features a stone fireplace, custom wood mantel, and expansive windows overlooking the private backyard. A separate dining room flows into the well-preserved kitchen, where original avocado appliances, a built-in cooktop, double ovens, and abundant storage celebrate the home's era while remaining remarkably functional.The main level offers three bedrooms with hardwood floors, including a spacious primary suite. Downstairs, an ideal entertaining space features newer flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, an iconic atomic wet bar, and a renovated bath with a steam shower. An additional bedroom and separate-entry bonus space offer flexibility for guests, creative pursuits, multigenerational living, or future ADU potential.The south-facing backyard is truly special. Backing to open space with no rear neighbors, it offers a rare sense of privacy. Enjoy a covered patio with hot tub, a finished studio shed, a paver patio beneath a flowering crabapple tree, fragrant lavender and sage gardens, and a peaceful side yard framed by jasmine and Japanese maple.Thoughtfully updated with a newer roof, siding, exterior paint, electrical panel, plumbing improvements, and interior enhancements, this one-of-a-kind home balances preserved architectural character with modern peace of mind. Just minutes from parks, schools, shopping, the airport, and major commuter routes, this is a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of Portland's mid-century history. [Home Energy Score = 4.
