The highest caliber of workmanship created a sensuous blend of exquisite millwork, Venetian plaster walls and glass to create this gem at the base of Mt Tabor. Leave your shoes at the door and luxuriate in the radiant heat through the hardwood and tile floors. Clear vertical grain fir doors, open staircase and timeless wood work accent the home throughout. In winter, enjoy the gas fireplace that warms both the living and dining rooms. Savor the view of Mt Hood and the Cascades through the expansive glass sliders that open to the wooden decks. The open kitchen has honed granite countertops, 5-burner gas cooktop, Electrolux Icon SS appliances, eating bar and VIEWS! The upstairs primary suite boasts MT views, and spa like bath. Two more bedrooms share a Honduran Mahogany (IPE)large deck and loft space. The lower level has warm concrete floors with a large living area with a wet bar. A possible ADU since it has a legal bedroom and opens to private grassy fenced yard. A perfect retreat for guests. The quality of craftsmanship and highly desirable location make this a must see home in a one of the most highly desirable neighborhoods in Portland!
