Welcome home to a West Hills retreat in unincorporated Multnomah County, designed by Ellis F. Lawrence, one of Oregon’s most esteemed architects. This enchanting French Normandy residence offers a rare blend of timeless architecture, privacy, and modern luxury in a tranquil setting. Situated on a level 1.24-acre lot, the property is perfectly suited for family, small gatherings, & grand entertaining. A generous driveway provides ample guest parking and welcomes you to this meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated home. Inside, soaring ceilings, spacious rooms, & oversized windows fill the interiors with natural light. The updated kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, custom wood cabinetry, expansive island, and a casual dining area. The kitchen flows into a spacious sunroom. The formal dining room overlooks the extraordinary Craig Kiest English garden, where mature laurel hedges and established trees create a private, elegant setting. Beyond the garden is a lighted, full-size tennis/pickleball court. A 700-square-foot covered veranda extends the living space outdoors, with a glass ceiling, gas fireplace, infrared heaters, and spa, creating a space for year-round enjoyment. The Benjamin Silver Design updated owner’s suite is a private sanctuary, with Carrara marble throughout the spa-like bathroom with a walk-in shower and soaking tub. A generously sized dressing room with custom built-ins completes the suite. The spacious second bedroom offers exceptional flexibility, accommodating a king, queen, or twin-beds and includes its own private bath. The lower level provides an additional bedroom suite with a wall of windows overlooking the beautiful grounds, a full hallway bathroom, versatile media room, and large exercise room that could also function as a wine cellar or generous storage space.
