"Granted, the way the home steps down its hillside with two glassed sections at the top-which appear as though they're projecting into the surrounding trees- we're definitely getting why it would ever be likened to a nest. Originally designed by Eugene architect Otto Paul Poticha, the main entry is accessed at the top of a winding staircase, past a conveniently placed entertaining deck, with the front door tucked between the glass cubes."
"Once inside, the sunken living room is to the left, complete with two-sided fireplace, its own little balcony, and massive, 10-foot-tall windows with peekaboo sunset views of Eugene through the sweep of moss-covered trees and their canopy. Where there's solid wall, a band of glass runs across the top, underscoring the angled cedar-covered ceiling and filtering more dappled light into the primarily open plan."
"Since the recent owners purchased the home in 2022, they've completed a number of updates and custom renovations, including the nearby kitchen, which now has streamlined clear fir cabinetry, quartz counters, and a Monogram appliance package. The two bathrooms, one on each level, received similar treatment, including new vanity cabinets, quartz counters, tile, mirrors, and fixtures."
Built in 1965 near the crest of a hill overlooking Eugene, the single-schoolteacher residence is nicknamed 'The Love Nest.' The house steps down the hillside with two glassed sections that appear to project into surrounding trees. The main entry sits at the top of a winding staircase beside an entertaining deck, with the front door tucked between glass cubes. A sunken living room includes a two-sided fireplace, a small balcony, and 10-foot-tall windows framing sunset views through moss-covered trees. Bands of glass run under an angled cedar-covered ceiling to filter dappled light. Recent owners completed kitchen and bathroom renovations with clear fir cabinetry, quartz counters, Monogram appliances, new vanities, tile, mirrors, and fixtures, while preserving features like blue-stained glass in the front door and a side window.
