2630 Agate St

Tucked into a secluded, wooded lot just minutes from the University of Oregon, the YMCA, Hayward Field, and Amazon Park, this one of a kind home is a masterclass in design, detail, and imagination. Built in 1957 by a Swedish shipwright, the home reflects his skilled craftsmanship-blending clean Scandinavian lines with the natural warmth of Pacific Northwest Contemporary style. Set on nearly a third of an acre, the park-like grounds are alive with mature plantings, terraced vegetable gardens, tree swings, a whimsical goldfish pond, a sauna and a deck offering stunning sunset views of the Oregon Coast Range. Indoor and outdoor living flow together in perfect harmony. Step through the atrium style entry into light filled spaces where cathedral ceilings and skylights draw your gaze upward. Old growth clear fir and oak hardwood floors add warmth and texture, while interior and exterior walls of windows offer unexpected sight lines and an ever-present connection to nature. At times, it feels as if you're aboard a finely crafted ship adrift in an enchanted garden. Thoughtful built-ins and clever storage solutions maximize space without sacrificing beauty. Every detail has been lovingly maintained-this is a home that has been truly cherished. A generous bonus room-once used as a gym, playroom, and art studio, offers endless versatility. Add a bathroom, and it could become a guest suite, Airbnb, or separate living quarters. The large second bedroom was previously divided and features closets on each end, making it easy to create an additional bedroom. A small office with a separate entrance adds flexibility for a home business or guest accommodations. This is a rare and remarkable property-one that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate.
