French-inspired custom home in the heart of Lake Oswego
This 5,129 sq. ft. home was custom built in 2009 by a construction industry executive as their personal residence. It's clear from the moment you step inside that it's a special destination where your friends and family will love to come together. The home was designed by architect Tim Merrill, owner of Portland's well-known Merrill Architecture, the firm responsible for projects including the Lodge at Bandon Dunes and the historic Speedometer Building in Portland's Pearl District.
Inspired by the sun-drenched colors of Provence, functioning blue shutters add a spark of color to the buttery yellow, color impregnated, hard coat stucco, patinaed copper gutters and red clay tile lifetime roof of this exceptionally built home. All the exterior doors on the main floor were imported from France and the incredible French Oak floors throughout the home are reclaimed and include radiant heating with individual thermostats in each room.
The formal dining room is just off the foyer with a view of the front of the home through three large windows. The tall ceilings are highlighted by classic crown molding and an elegant crystal chandelier elevates the space for special occasions. However, it's the kitchen and living room that really steal the show in this home. Graciously designed with a comfortable flow through the kitchen to the living room and out to the courtyard patio, this great room space is bright and light-filled.
Centered around a large central island topped with thick, quarter-sawn white oak in a dark stain, the kitchen has a touch of Old-World appeal balanced by top-of-the-line appliances. Marble counters top the kitchen's side cabinets and are also featured in the convenient butler's pantry where there is a full-size SubZero cabinet-front freezer. A built-in desk with space for a computer creates a convenient command center just off the kitchen.
The living room has soaring cathedral ceilings featuring rustic beams. The wood-burning fireplace features an imported limestone mantle and surround coupled with a simple chimney for an impressive yet comfortable aesthetic. Arched French doors lead outside to the inviting brick patio.
The main floor primary suite opens to the brick patio and garden, creating a perfect spot for morning coffee while enjoying the jasmine-scented breeze. The serene bedroom is spacious with a cozy gas fireplace and a luxurious ensuite bath. At the opposite end of the bath is a spacious walk-in closet with custom storage solutions including a built-in jewelry cabinet, a chest of drawers, hanging space and storage cubbies.
Next door to the primary suite is a flexible-use room with a large closet and built-in shelves with lower drawers along one wall. Next door is the main floor laundry room which offers colorful hand-painted Belgian tile on the backsplash, handmade French pavers on the floor and the same dark-stained wood countertops that are in the kitchen.
Up the broad staircase bordered by a custom-made iron banister are four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath. Each of the bedrooms is unique with walk-in closets, some including built-in desks, tub/shower combos and one with French doors and a large balcony overlooking the front of the home. The second floor also includes a laundry room designed with a Moroccan flair including built-in vented laundry hampers, ogee arch cutouts in the cabinetry and intricately patterned glass mosaic tile on the floors and walls.
A comfortable guest suite is located on the basement level with a separate full bath featuring marble tile. There is also ample storage on this level and throughout the home. The four-car tandem garage has radiant floor heating and is also accessed from this level.
