HOLLYWOOD REGENCY LIVES

Nestled in a quiet Northeast Portland neighborhood, our Preview Residence for the month has been known for its stately elegance since construction in 1971. The 5,700 square foot home gained iconic status for immaculate gardens, avant-garde decor, and timeless beauty soon after it was built. Sitting on nearly one-half acre, the original owner hand-picked the double lot to serve as a hub due to its close proximity to a family business. Assembling a team of noteworthy craftsmen - including a landscape architect and interior designer - no detail was missed during the building process.

The joint effort made for a stunning finished product. Opulent custom wrought iron, careful selection of outdoor plantings, and a residence that was - inside and outside - "very high maintenance" helped to frame a vision of perfect living in a totally private urban environment, a sublime oddity seemingly transplanted from the hilly confines of California's tony Bel Air.
