Cedarhurst. Where 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, greenhouse, brick walkway and portico. Just off the stunning family room’s french doors is a current pool with an entertaining and sitting area with fireplace. This home is across from the Willamette River and near Portland’s Downtown area, yet seems far away. Recent owner renovations include updated electrical and plumbing, a major kitchen remodel, new engineered hardwoods, all new bathrooms, custom closets, updated lighting, new wall panels and moulding, custom drapes, and a fabulous laundry room. A stunning kitchen renovation includes top of the line appliances. The fireboxes were rebuilt and the chimneys and fireplaces resurfaced. An Encore Video AV system is throughout with a Control 4 system operated by phone or tablet. A major landscape restoration includes an electronic entry gate, an intercom system w/audio and video capabilities and new outdoor lighting. River views on 3rd Floor.
