About This Home
Set on an impeccably landscaped lot in the heart of Dunthorpe and deeply rooted in Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie tradition, this custom home is a study in refined architecture and easy living. A thoughtful floor plan places the primary suite, two bedrooms, and a private guest suite together on the main floor. Cherry millwork, exposed vertical grain timber trusses, and natural stone showcase meticulous craftsmanship, while expansive glass draws Dunthorpe's lush greenery inside. Artisan leaded glass windows and pocket doors - inspired by Wright's art glass - appear throughout, alongside framed suede accent panels. In the skylit great room, soaring vaulted ceilings are anchored by a stacked stone fireplace with hand-chiseled header, custom built-ins, and an integrated media center. The kitchen, with its own vaulted ceiling and skylights, offers granite countertops, high-end appliances, a distinctive Arts & Crafts tile backsplash, and a wet bar with wine fridge, while an adjacent dining room is warmed by a fireplace under a tray ceiling. Dramatic vaulted ceilings continue in the primary suite, where a fireplace and artisan windows complement a cherry-paneled dressing suite, vessel-sink double vanity, frameless glass shower, and soaking tub. Tucked down a back hall, a guest suite with its own entrance offers a full kitchen, a double-sided fireplace, and patio access. The main level includes two additional bedrooms, while the upper and lower floors each feature a dedicated bedroom, full bath, and versatile bonus living space. Outside, mature plantings surround an expansive flagstone patio and pool area where a gas-fueled fire pit and gas torches illuminate a shuffleboard court, multiple lounging areas, a hot tub, and a cooking station with premium infrared grill. Additional amenities include a dog kennel with power/water, sauna and a whole-home generator. Located within the top-ranked Riverdale School District and minutes from downtown Portland and Lake Oswego.
