A serene marriage of classic PNW and Japanese design elements, this consummate East meets West estate on approximately 3/4 acre grounds meticulously tended and developed over 30 years by artisan Japanese gardeners is a vision from every angle. Walls of floor to ceiling windows take in the home's 'top of the world' elevated position and bring in the natural surroundings. Entertain in the impeccably designed vaulted great room, elegant formal dining, a welcoming den overlooking the veranda, and gourmet chef's kitchen with GE Monogram refrigerator, Wolf and Miele appliances, warming drawer, butler's pantry wet bar, and 2nd dining space. Enjoy 2 main level bedrooms and bathrooms, including a plush primary suite with dazzling dressing room, custom window treatments, and spa bathroom with Japanese soaking shower tub and heated floors. The lower level bedroom suite is a versatile guest, teen, or caregiver's space with generous built-ins + storage rooms to ensure an organized, pristine home. Whole home generator, integrated smart features, and too many custom updates to list, this unique jewel is equal parts tranquil refuge and incomparable style. Minutes to Oregon's top-rated Riverdale Schools, Lake Oswego's destination farmer's market, dining, and cafes, OHSU, and Portland's key amenities!
