About 2540 Se Clay St

A striking modern transformation in the heart of Southeast Portland, this 1948 home was completely reimagined in 2018. Its distinctive shou sugi ban cedar siding creates an unforgettable first impression, while the interior delivers a thoughtful balance of dramatic design, flexibility, and everyday comfort. The main level unfolds into a spacious open-concept living area designed for gathering and entertaining. Tucked away for privacy, the main-level primary suite features a generous walk-in closet with built-in organizers and a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. A dedicated exercise area within the partially converted garage is also conveniently accessible from the main floor, and delivers plenty of room for weights, machines, cardio equipment, or aerial silks. Become ballet buff or beefy chief, and anywhere in between. Upstairs, a modular bedroom area is currently set up as 2 spacious bedrooms, but can be modified to create up to 4 separate, private spaces, offering one-of-a-kind versatility. The additional loft offers space for a home office, library, media lounge, or creative retreat. Step outside onto the elevated second-floor deck and soak in views stretching toward downtown Portland and the West Hills, a rare perspective from this close-in neighborhood. Located near the restaurants, shops, cafés, and energy of Division and Hawthorne, with convenient access to surrounding parks, transit, and neighborhood schools, this is a one-of-a-kind Portland home for buyers who want modern architecture without giving up the character and connectivity of an established neighborhood. This is an opportunity to step into something that feels truly unique, flexible, impressive, and, charmingly, home. Special financing program being offered by our preferred lender can help save HUNDREDS per month on your mortgage. Ask your broker or the listing broker for more information. [Home Energy Score = 6.
