Swan House: Northwest Modernism on the Market | Canada News
Description
Portland’s legendary Swan House, a midcentury modern masterpiece by John Yeon, is hitting the market at $2.2 million. Built in 1953, this Northwest modernist gem harmonizes with its forested surroundings using cedar, hemlock, and clever design—like overhanging roofs and floor-to-ceiling windows—that embrace the climate while blurring indoor-outdoor lines. Its terraced layout, hidden doorways, and built-in lighting reflect Yeon’s genius for integrating architecture with nature. Though updated with modern fireplaces and bathrooms, the home retains its original soul. Nestled on nearly four acres with trails and a secluded cedar retreat, it’s drawing national interest despite a sluggish luxury market. A rare chance to own a piece of Pacific Northwest architectural history.
