About this home
Cedar ceilings, walls of glass and a dramatic pivot front door set the tone from the moment you arrive: this 1962 John Storrs design in Dunthorpe has been completely renovated with its midcentury soul fully intact. Exposed beams glow with warm cove lighting, and a stone fireplace anchors the living room.Bi-fold glass doors open the living spaces to the backyard, creating a natural connection between indoors and out. The open kitchen features a walk-in pantry, Wolf dual-fuel range, Sub-Zero wine refrigerator and oversized picture windows that fill the space with natural light. The primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a private terrace, dual walk-in closets and a bath with Ann Sacks tile and heated floors. A second en-suite bedroom lives much like another primary, with a walk-in closet and spacious bath with soaking tub and separate shower. A detached guest suite with its own full bath, a lower-level office with custom walnut built-ins and a large family room opening onto a courtyard add space for guests, work and play.The 0.5-acre lot was fully re-landscaped in 2022, with an expansive lawn and heritage apple trees remaining from the property's former orchard. The standout is the covered outdoor pavilion, a true living room in the backyard with a fireplace, comfortable lounge area, gas heaters, outdoor TV, Ooni pizza oven and a built-in kitchen with grill, sink, beverage refrigerator and kegerator. With the fireplace and heaters going, it becomes a space designed to be enjoyed well beyond the summer months.Behind the scenes, the home has been updated with new electrical and plumbing, a new metal roof, gutters and exterior paint, multi-zone HVAC with A/C, tankless water heaters and a gas-powered generator. Located in Dunthorpe within the Riverdale School District, with easy access to Lake Oswego, OHSU and Downtown Portland.

About
Dunthorpe
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.
