Hidden Gem

Location: West Linn, OR

Don’t settle with your forever home.

Ever since our client was a young girl, she dreamed about living in one of West Linn’s most desirable neighborhoods. After years of house shopping, the couple jumped at the opportunity to purchase an untouched, 1979 Northwest Contemporary. They fell in love with the neighborhood’s private, picturesque setting and were eager to transform the space into their forever home.
