Just west of downtown Portland, Oregon, in the coveted Kings Heights neighborhood, an alluring midcentury property blends renovated living spaces with preserved period details.

Much of the dwelling’s pristine condition can be credited to its current owners, Mark and Laurie Engberg, who treated the space to a complete restoration upon acquiring the property in 2005. "The Engbergs did an excellent job of elevating this midcentury-modern home," says listing agent Patrick Clark. "They revived the structure and further created a masterpiece."

Mark, who is the founding principal at Portland-based Colab Architecture + Urban Design, was eager to take on the challenge of the overhaul. "The renovation was an extension of the basic principles of the house, which is based and organized on the datum lines set by the structure," he says.
In the living room, vaulted ceilings and expansive windows frame views of Mount St. Helens and Mount Adams.
