Coming soon. Tucked behind lush gardens in the heart of Dunthorpe, this extraordinary estate carries historic character, thoughtful design, and modern livability in equal measure. A recent remodel touched the home with exceptional care, preserving original architectural details while introducing designer lighting, hand-selected wallpaper, and refined finishes that honor its timeless spirit. Four fireplaces warm the home, from the gas fireplace in the living room to a wood-burning hearth in an upstairs bedroom. Multiple sets of main level French doors open directly to the gardens, dissolving the boundary between indoor and outdoor living. At the heart of the home, the remodeled kitchen pairs crisp white cabinetry and quartz countertops with high-end appliances and a generous island with bar seating, made for both quiet mornings and lively gatherings. Upstairs, the serene primary suite opens to an enclosed sun porch and private second-story patio. Three sunny additional bedrooms are just down the hall, while third floor bonus space is your fifth bedroom, office, or gym. The basement level adds a dedicated home theater and an adjoining bonus room with kitchenette. Outside, nearly an acre of beautifully manicured grounds unfold with a sparkling swimming pool, outdoor dining room under a wisteria-covered pergola, covered patio, and a charming greenhouse. Located within the top-rated Riverdale School District with easy access to Portland and Lake Oswego, this is Dunthorpe at its best.
Dunthorpe, located between Lake Oswego and Portland, is a residential and riverfront Dunthorpe neighborhood with wooded lanes and large estate lots. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along SW Riverwood Rd near the Waverley Country Club gates, where quiet drives, manicured greens, and glimpses of the Willamette set the tone. Architecture leans traditional, with classic Northwest homes tucked behind mature trees and long setbacks. River access and private docks shape a low-key, outdoors-forward rhythm along the shoreline. Nearby staples such as Waverley Country Club, Riverdale High School, and the Riverdale Grade School campus anchor local identity. The landscape reads as green, private, and closely tied to the river corridor.
