4230 SW Council Crest Dr

Description

It's a beautiful day in Portland and one of the coolest homes in the West Hills is on the market! This mid-century modern residence was designed by global award-winning architecture firm, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, whose fame extends to flagship Apple stores around the world. From the very beginning, this home was awash in creativity. The original owner hired acclaimed architect Roscoe Hemenway to create a modern dwelling that captured the endless views & brought modern to life inside the home. In 2006 the home passed to another creative force, when a local family purchased it. From the moment the home was transferred to the new owners, the creative energy of the new family permeated every nook and corner of the house and In 2011, this stunning spot on Council Crest was re-imagined & remodeled. The owners after careful planning placed the well-preserved masterpiece into the hands Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. From inside the home and from outside on terraced decks, one can gaze, over evergreens, across downtown Portland, to the Willamette and Columbia rivers and beyond to the majestic Cascade Mountains including Mount Hood, St Helens, Adams, and Rainer. Materials include local basalt, Ipe wood decks, walnut paneling, book shelves, custom cabinets, Ann Sachs tile, and Hans Grohe fixtures, among other exceptional details. This spacious 5 bedroom house has 3 en-suites, one on each of the three levels. Glass completely encompasses the primary suite which occupies the entire second level, also hosting a lounge area with its own private deck. The list is long, if you are counting amenities, but this house is truly more, than the sum of its parts. The home is refined & defined- it stands for, more of a way of living and of thinking. Its design is sleek and clean, minimal in places to inform a maximum definition of space, both interior and exterior. This is your opportunity to live beautifully in rhythm and balance, enjoying all the benefits of life in the Pacific NW!
