A breakfast nook off the kitchen is designed as a solarium and looks out onto the lush backyard. The glass ceiling and wall of windows allow sunshine to warm the space, which also features an exposed brick wall and built-in china cabinets on both sides.
Through the large windows, it’s possible to see downtown Portland, Mount St. Helen, Mount Hood, and both the Columbia and TK Rivers.
