6015 SE Salmon St

Echoes of Mérida, Marfa, and Judd. Terracotta, plaster curves, a style that carries the air of a permanent vacation. This home has sat at the base of Mt. Tabor for decades. Bones intact. Waiting. It took a particular eye and a particular conviction to see what it could become. Now, the home gathers light and warmth, even in winter, it leans toward brightness. You step inside and the city falls away. A layout reimagined around daily life, with spaces that open, shift, and respond to light throughout the day. A window-filled circular living room with sculptural fireplace, a moody and generous dining area, a private spa-like main bedroom and bathroom, a second bedroom and a Belgian modernism–inspired kitchen anchored by walnut cabinetry. Outside, a heated, in-ground swimming pool, in-ground jacuzzi, outdoor shower, pool shed, greenhouse, and garden beds extend the architecture into the landscape, creating a property that lives beautifully across the seasons. The lower level is a true extension of the home offering a flexible bedroom or workspace with its own entrance and natural light, and additional room with ample ceiling height for future renovations. With over $800,000 in thoughtful improvements, the home was taken back to the studs while preserving its original character. Major system and structural upgrades include new electrical and plumbing, a new water meter, earthquake retrofitting, and extensive infrastructure work. Interior updates were carried out with equal care, including hand-replastered walls rooted in traditional plaster craftsmanship, custom walnut cabinetry, white oak finishes, Heath tile, Watermark fixtures, electric floor heat, walk-in shower and deep soaking tub oriented to nature outside. Rare in style and complete in execution, this is a home where design, function, and feeling have been brought fully into alignment.
