The Sunroom at 1111 SW Coronado St: A Room Between House and Garden

Tucked between the main living spaces and the grounds at 1111 SW Coronado St is one of the home's most quietly delightful rooms: the sunroom. With light green walls, natural wood window trim, and white hexagonal tile flooring, it is a transitional space designed to keep you connected to the outdoors without leaving the house. On nearly 3 acres of forested grounds, it is the room you reach for with a cup of coffee in the morning or a book in the afternoon. Here is a closer look at how this room works and what it adds to daily life.

A Room That Does Double Duty

Sunrooms earn their name by doing one thing well: catching light. The configuration of 1111 SW Coronado St, with the house set into a forested lot of towering evergreens, means the sunroom is a bright, sheltered vantage point over the gardens and terraced beds. The clean hexagonal tile floor holds up to daily traffic and makes the room feel crisp and open, while the wood trim keeps the mid-century character that runs through the whole home.

The room works as many things at once: a sunny dining nook for slow weekend breakfasts, a reading corner that follows the afternoon light, a spot for seedlings before they head to the greenhouse, or simply a place to sit with the windows open and listen to the forest. Its position between the house and the yard makes it the natural hub for the indoor-outdoor flow that defines this property.

Year-Round Connection to the Grounds

In Portland, the season when an indoor-outdoor room shines is longer than you might think. In the spring, the sunroom catches the first warmth while the yard is still waking up. In summer, it is a screened-in feeling room without the bugs, with the covered back deck just beyond for open-air dining. In the fall, the vine maples and firs outside turn the windows into a living painting of gold and green. And in winter, it is the brightest room in the house on gray days. The sunroom, the covered deck, and the terraced gardens work as one connected sequence outdoors, described in more detail in our guide to the outdoor living spaces.

Why It Matters for Buyers

For buyers, a sunroom is the kind of feature that quietly upgrades every day. It adds usable living space without the cost of an addition, and it deepens the property's connection to nearly 3 acres of private forest, terraced garden beds, and the greenhouse. Homes like this are designed around the outdoors, and the sunroom is the hinge that makes the arrangement feel effortless.

When you tour the property, spend a quiet moment in the sunroom. Look out through the wood-trimmed windows at the towering evergreens, and imagine your morning routine starting here. If you would like to see it in person, contact Danielle Bade to schedule a private tour of 1111 SW Coronado St.
