About The Property

Fewer than 30 homes rest on the bank of the Willamette River in Dunthorpe, one of the most coveted neighborhoods on the West Coast. What sets this estate apart from all others: a pool at the river’s edge, framed by a half acre of immaculate terraced gardens, a grand lawn, & rose gardens behind a gated, private entrance. Originally built in 1960 and essentially newly rebuilt in 2006, this home was reimagined into something far more grand, with the craftsmanship and detail of a generational estate. It announces itself with a soaring two-story great room anchored by hand-hewn log beams sourced from the Columbia Slough and walls of glass facing the river. The kitchen and family room flow seamlessly outside to a heated, covered balcony with a wood-burning fireplace & built-in grill: the kind of indoor-outdoor setup that makes Oregon’s four seasons feel like an invitation. The exterior has been freshly detailed with newly painted window frames and doors. On the main level, an art room, en suite bedroom, and an office with beamed ceilings, a fireplace, & built-in bookshelves round out the living spaces. Upstairs, the primary suite commands its own wing with floor-to-ceiling river views, a grand fireplace, vaulted ceilings, & a walk-in closet with a center island and custom built-ins. The en suite bath is equally considered — custom tile flooring, a soaking tub framed by windows, a walk-in shower, dual vanities, & heated floors. A second en suite bedroom shares the same water views. The lower level is built for living, a family room with fireplace and French doors opening directly to the pool and riverfront gardens, two additional bedrooms, two full baths, a climate-controlled 2,500+ bottle wine cellar, a workout room, laundry with convenient poolside access, all served by an elevator connecting all three floors. Offered at an exceptional price that represents a compelling entry into one of the most tightly held and rarely traded addresses in the Pacific Northwest.
