Living, Dining, Den & Kitchen

A gracious and sprawling floor plan is centered around the brick mid-century floor to ceiling fireplace - the heart of the home. Upon being welcomed into the home, the open floor plan thoughtfully designates a change in space by a lowered ceiling over the entry, transitioning to a higher tray ceiling in the large living room with floor to ceiling stone fireplace. An expansive picture window floods the room with an abundance of natural light. A passage way on either side of the fireplace leads into the connected areas of den, dining and kitchen. The den features a custom built in and second fireplace, a corner unit converted for gas. The dining has a door to the backyard and floor to ceiling windows with views to the lush outdoors. The updated gourmet chef's kitchen overlooks both the backyard and dining area, while remaining close to the custom pantry. It is both functional and beautiful. The high-quality materials of white oak and Carrera marble will outlast the trends of design and compliment the modern lines of the home. A masterpiece of good design.

Bedrooms & Baths

This 5 bedroom and 3 bath home features a well-designed layout. 3 bedrooms and one bath are all easily accessed by a long hallway, keeping the more private and quiet spaces isolated from the common areas. This thoughtful layout aids in the peaceful and tranquil feeling in the home. The updated bathroom features natural stone and designer plumbing fixtures. The custom double sink/vanity is made from a reclaimed sideboard. An original built-in located in the hallway allows for convenient linen storage, as well as a pull-out folding station. Offering even more privacy, the 4th bedroom is located at the opposite end of the home. Ideally used as a guest room, it could also function as a home office. Each bedroom has calming outdoor views further adding to the feeling of an oasis in the city. All bedrooms feature original closets with mid-century influenced built-ins. The 2nd bathroom, on the main floor, is conveniently located near the guest room, just off of the mudroom with access to the backyard. It functions as the perfect place to rinse off after a refreshing swim or soak.

Lower Level & Bonus Spaces

The 3rd fireplace is located in the large family room in the basement. The wood burning fireplace it is a masterpiece of  mid-century design with integrated stone ledges and hearth. Potential abounds in the rest of the basement. The basement could function as a secondary living space with a non-conforming 5th bedroom, the 3rd bathroom, kitchenette and plenty of storage areas. The mud porch and laundry, seated on the main level, offer convenient access to the backyard and the attached garage. The large 2-car garage offers ample areas for storage - including drop-down attic storage with electricity for lighting, as well as an attached tool room complete with work bench.

The Grounds & Outdoor Enjoyment

Over 30 years of hard work, research and dedication has been put into the grounds to achieve the coveted low maintenance "mow and blow" status. Northwest natives paired with carefully selected Japanese flora surround the home and grounds. Additional Japanese influences are evident in the zen rock garden with petrified wood boulders, the beds edged with reclaimed handmade imported roofing tiles from the Portland Japanese Gardens, and the outdoor patio with columns designed after a traditional Kyoto garden. Privacy is afforded by the tall leafy bamboo atop the dry-stacked lava rock wall running the perimeter of the fenced in backyard. The backyard is also home to a saltwater pool, with removable safety fence and a hot tub for relaxation among the serene environment. Entertaining is a delight as well with many areas for socializing, dining, or sitting with a good book.
