Classic Prune Hill!

I showed some homes in Camas this past weekend and one of them was located in one of the earliest "top of the hill" developments. This home was built in 1985 and is situated on the steep near cliff part of Prune Hill that is just above Macintosh Road and has stellar views of Mount Hood, the Gorge, the Columbia River and lights across the water in Troutdale, Gresham, and Portland.

This home has a serious movie star vibe happening. Sure it's a bit dated with that whole mid-80s motif, but this home still shines despite the 30 year old design. A little splash of 21st century updating and this $600,000 home quickly swells to join the millionaires club. That view is spectacular and there simply is no more lots quite like this one left.

This home is not a country experience, this home is in a neighborhood with lots of very large homes built on small lots on steep hillside. The steep hillside is also in very close to the river. The view in person is vastly superior to the view in the pictures.

This is the type of house I like, it is old and dated but it was such a spectacular house back in the day that it still holds up well. Just the oak trim and cabinets need to go along with some flooring updates and this thing will rock the seven figure tags. Somebody needs to steal this house while they still can!

The home features an indoor lap pool, sauna, jacuzzi and all that posh stuff. It also has a soaring ceiling in the living room with huge picture windows to soak up that gorgeous view. Homes like this keep me writing this blog.

There are many types of views, the waterfront, high rise buildings, top of the mountain, urban cliff side, they all have their advantages and disadvantages but views like this one are tough to beat.

There are quite a few neighborhoods in Camas, Washington with this type view, many of them are starting to show some age, but the homes built up here are generally very well built and pass the test of time well. Take a ride up top of Prune Hill and enjoy the view.
