This area of homes will make you feel like Palm Springs, not Portland. A few streets in Vista Hills are lined with carriage houses- flat roofed, sprawling one level homes, very private- some with walls facing the street built in the 70's as "apartment alternatives." This particular home was owned by Mel Hansen, the builder. Every room opens onto a patio and the ceilings are amazingly high. This home also features a rare third bedroom, so with both a living room and a family room the home feels even bigger than it's 2000+ square feet. Could these homes be the next Eichler craze? I love the many unique qualities. $489,000
