This farmhouse colonial is located in the heart of the exclusive Dunthorpe neighborhood, one of Portland’s oldest and loveliest residential neighborhoods featuring large estates, a welcoming community, and the coveted Riverdale School District. The estate is considered by historians as a centerpiece of the Dunthorpe “residential park”.
The home has been lovingly restored and recently reimagined with designer updates and decor, tastefully and elegantly appointed, yet comfortable. It features five-plus bedroom suites, seven bathrooms, seven fireplaces, a large bonus room, two family rooms, and elegant library with an adjoining office. Classic touches and artistry are plentiful with the added inclusion of modern conveniences.
Artistic elements that provide a continuity of design, include pocket doors with true divided light glass panels, generous crown moldings, French doors, wainscoting, and hardwoods. Counter-plays of light emanate from double French doors and true divided light windows play patterns on expansive hardwood floors. High ceilings and suburb craftsmanship make this a rare offering.
French doors lead outdoors, to seemingly endless lawns, terraces, and groomed European-style gardens with boxwood hedges. The house commands an evergreen-lined & beautifully landscaped site featuring a stunning pool, glorious flower gardens, outdoor terraces, and privacy. The estate and grounds were featured in the 2016 prestigious Garden Club of America Garden Tour.
