Vacation where you live at the peak of Lake Oswego’s prestigious Skylands neighborhood, where this exquisitely reimagined 1968 Craftsman residence sits on a glorious acre with stunning views of the Willamette Valley. Beautifully refreshed to the studs by Skip O’Neill and the masterful craftsman at O’Neill Homes, this home is the epitome of luxury living and timelessly elegant style. Embodying the perfect blend of sophisticated design and comfortable living, this home is built for gathering with friends and family around the pool to enjoy the expansive, private backyard.

Classic Craftsman details highlight the exterior framed by lush green grass and manicured landscaping. The classic front-gabled roof supported by exposed triangular knee braces forms simple but timeless elements of the quintessential design. The welcoming front porch frames the front door with rustic beams, highlighting the leaded glass panels that cast a welcoming glow as guests arrive. Step inside to warm hardwood floors and expertly crafted architectural details like classic wainscoting and crisp trim one would expect throughout a home of this special caliber.

Step inside to effortlessly elegant warmth and a layout for easy living and entertaining. The bi-level design is an asset in a busy household where guests often fall into two camps – upstairs for casually elegant entertaining and downstairs for comfortable hangouts – providing ample space for everyone. The design is well thought out, with the three-car garage leading into the spacious kitchen for easy access to unload groceries and everyday access. 

The Main Floor
With its soaring ceilings and abundant natural light, the expansive great room offers a seamless flow from the kitchen to the living room for entertaining and everyday living. Exquisite hardwood floors, custom millwork, and a gas-assist fireplace with a slate and wood surround create an inviting ambiance, while large picture windows frame breathtaking views of the lush, private surroundings.

The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry with Craftsman-style leaded glass accents, and an oversized island perfect for casual dining and social gatherings.  The homeowners worked with Maison, Inc., one of Portland’s top-rated interior design firms, to refresh the kitchen, including new subway tile, three new handmade Allied Maker dome pendants above the central island, basalt countertops, and a new six-burner JennAir range. The SubZero refrigerator features a cabinet front matching the crisp, white cabinetry throughout the space, which also includes two JennAir wall ovens, a Bosch dishwasher, and a spacious pantry. The adjacent family room is centered around a gas-assist woodburning fireplace with a slate tile surround topped with a rustic wood mantle featuring a Craftsman take on a dentil detail. A thick beam highlights the soaring vaulted ceiling while the space is flooded with natural light from the large windows and French doors leading outside to the resort-like pool and backyard. 

The jewel of this remarkable property is its fabulous backyard—a private oasis designed for relaxation and entertainment. The sparkling pool has been recently replastered and retiled, inviting friends and family to unwind and bask in the sun. The spacious pool deck and patio offer ample space for al fresco dining and gatherings, with expansive lush lawns and mature landscaping providing a picturesque backdrop. Encompassing nearly an acre, this lot offers ample space to relax and play with blueberry and raspberry bushes, plum and apple trees, hydrangeas, and lilies dotting the manicured landscape. 

With nearly an acre of land, this home offers endless possibilities for expansion and customization. Whether you envision a guest house, a sports court, or additional garden space, this property provides the flexibility to create your dream estate.

Back inside, the dining room is perfect for holidays and celebrating special occasions with a Visual Comfort Signature Talia Chandelier by Julie Neill as its eye-catching centerpiece. This elevated fixture features artisanal glass orbs that shimmer with light, juxtaposing with the traditional grasscloth and wainscot-clad walls.   

The nearby living room features French doors on two sides leading out to the patio and backyard.  This spacious room features a thick beam highlighting the vaulted ceiling soaring over this light-filled space. Built-in bookcases and a massive wood and steel fireplace surround with a simple Craftsman design are inviting focal points in this inviting space. 

The luxurious primary suite is a private retreat on the main floor featuring a spa-like ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. The tall, vaulted ceiling in the bedroom is enhanced by lush treetop views framed by a broad picture window overlooking the front yard. Two additional bedrooms, one currently in use as a home office, share a spacious hall bath are also located on the main floor.
