English Countryside, character and tradition meet high style in this private estate on 1.65 acres in the coveted Dunthorpe neighborhood. Cedarhurst has modern amenities for today’s lifestyle, while maintaining its presence of yesteryear. It is seemingly effortless and chic with a hip feel. The property’s expansive interiors are defined by impeccable style and the use of the highest quality materials and luxurious fixtures and fittings.
Appointments reminiscent of Ralph Lauren have the sophistication of a London townhome but with grand scale spaces and generous room sizes. Glorious principal rooms are a study in craftsmanship and detail. A generous use of crown molding, french doors, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and six fireplaces effuse a feeling of substance. The overall affect is that of an extremely comfortable family home.
Designed by noted architects Whidden and Lewis, the residence is poised majestically on impressive grounds. A sweeping driveway is intercepted by a six car heated garage built into the landscape. The exterior grounds feature a lush lawn, gated entry, heated greenhouse, brick walkway and portico. French doors off the family room open to an entertaining and sitting area with fireplace and a heated current lap pool. This home is across from the Willamette River and near Portland’s Downtown area, yet seems far away. River views from third floor.
Recent owner renovations include updated electrical and plumbing, a new kitchen, new interior and exterior paint, new flooring with engineered hardwood, all new bathrooms, new cabinetry, custom closets in every bedroom, updated lighting, new wall panels and moulding, custom drapes, and a fabulous laundry room. There is an updated tankless water heater system that feeds all of the radiators underfloor heat in the kitchen and living room. The stunning kitchen renovation includes top of the line appliances and a smashing decor. All fireboxes were rebuilt and the chimneys and fireplaces resurfaced. There is Encore Video AV system throughout with a Control 4 system which can be operated by phone or tablet.
