This recently listed home in Lake Oswego, Oregon, has all the hallmarks that make the midcentury style so beloved. From the street, there’s the low-slung roofline and deep exterior eaves. Inside, a vaulted wood ceiling caps the post-and-beam framework, and abundant windows overlook the forested site.

The 2,216-square-foot home unfolds over a single level, making it an ideal forever home, and it has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an entirely separate suite for guests. The kitchen is separate from the living and dining rooms, which are both lined with large windows that frame views of the tree canopy. A covered deck is nestled between the guest suite and main living areas, providing separation and a protected spot to dine outside when the weather turns drizzly.

The black exterior and white interior frame a serene retreat where the focus is on the nature outside. The home abuts Tryon Creek State Natural Area, which has 658 acres of second-growth forest, eight miles of hiking trails, a horse trail, and a three-mile paved bicycle trail. Sitting just above Nettle Creek, the new owners can enjoy the park from the comfort of home, listening to birdsongs and the gurgling creek after it rains.
