About this home
Set on a private, beautifully landscaped .66 acre estate in one of Lake Oswego's most coveted neighborhoods, this extraordinary custom residence blends timeless craftsmanship with modern luxury. Offering nearly 4,900 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, the home was created for effortless one-level living, with approximately 3,900 square feet on the main floor.From the moment you enter, soaring ceilings, walls of oversized windows, rich walnut flooring, custom walnut cabinetry, and hand-carved oak doors create an atmosphere of warmth, elegance, and exceptional quality. Designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable daily living, the expansive floor plan seamlessly connects formal and casual spaces while capturing serene views of the surrounding grounds. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is a culinary masterpiece featuring dual dishwashers, an oversized island, abundant workspace, and generous bar seating. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the spacious living and dining areas, creating the perfect setting for gatherings large and small. The luxurious primary retreat offers a true sanctuary with dual California Closets, a private laundry area, automatic window coverings, and spa-inspired amenities. Two additional ensuite bedrooms provide exceptional comfort for family and guests, while the impressive executive office—with a separate exterior entrance—offers ideal flexibility for working from home, a studio, or private client meetings. Outdoor living is equally remarkable. Covered decks provide year-round enjoyment, while a large stone patio with hot tub overlooks lush gardens, raised planting beds, mature fruit trees, and established berry bushes. Every inch of the grounds has been thoughtfully curated to create a peaceful, park-like setting. The lower level features a beautifully updated private apartment complete with its own kitchen, bath, luxury vinyl flooring, washer and dryer, and private patio,this has been used as a AirBNB.
Forest Highlands, located between Boones Ferry Road and I-5, is a residential and wooded Lake Oswego neighborhood with curving hillside streets and a canopy of evergreens. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Boones Ferry Road corridor near Kruse Way, where coffee counters, local eateries, and small professional storefronts set a steady weekday rhythm. Nearby, Lake Theater & Cafe, Zupan’s Markets, and La Provence Boulangerie & Patisserie act as familiar community touchpoints. Homes lean toward mid-century and late-20th-century Northwest styles, often set back behind mature landscaping. Green pockets and trail-like sidewalks shape a walk-and-roll feel, while the terrain creates quiet cul-de-sacs and filtered views. Daily life orbits around errands, dining, and outdoor breaks, with downtown Lake Oswego a short drive away.
