arousel House – 3332 SW Fairmount Lane, Portland, OR

    Price: $1,295,000

    This 1969 mid‑century modern home, designed by Marjorie Wintermute for the Wyse family, sits on a 0.45‑acre parcel in the Southwest Hills. Its distinctive octagonal rooms, pitched roofs, and radiating wooden beams echo a carousel motif. The 4,436 sq ft layout features hardwood floors, three brick fireplaces, and clean, contemporary lines that create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

    Large clerestory windows flood the interior with natural light while preserving privacy; glass walls frame sweeping valley views. The kitchen retains original unpainted cabinetry, mint‑colored countertops, and a long upholstered banquette beneath an eight‑sided ceiling punctuated by narrow top windows. The great room mirrors this design.

    A paneled‑wall office adjoins the primary suite on the main level. The lower level houses two additional bedrooms and a family room. Decks on each level overlook terraced plantings, and a double carport and octagonal garden shed occupy the courtyard.

    The property’s landscape, crafted by Barbara Fealy—an AASL fellow and pioneer female landscape architect in Oregon—complements the house’s modernist aesthetic. Fealy’s terraced design works in harmony with the regional style championed by Wintermute’s mentor, Pietro Belluschi.

    Listing broker Craig Weintz of Vetiver Street Real Estate notes that the home exemplifies a period when architecture and landscape design blended innovation with place‑sensitivity. An adjacent 0.19‑acre view lot is also available for $400,000. This is the first time the Carousel House has entered the market.
