9505 NW Germantown Rd, Portland

Some houses are built. This one was made — shaped over a century, then reimagined by a craftsman who understood that great materials and honest details are what a home is really made of. Down a secluded driveway in a private, wooded setting with views of Mt St Helens and the Willamette River, this 3,700-square-foot home rewards slowing down: morning light crossing the European beech floors, the change of seasons through every window, fall evenings on the cedar deck with a sunset glow on the mountain & the river gliding below.The main level sets the tone: a kitchen with rich mahogany and copper counters, custom clear-grain cabinetry, a Wolf gas cooktop, Viking oven & heated slate floors flowing into an expansive dining room with walls of forest view windows & hardwood floors, a welcoming living room that spills onto a wrap-around cedar deck framing those mountain and river views. Two bedrooms, one ensuite & a powder room complete this level. Upstairs, the primary suite is a perfect sanctuary. A private sitting room leads to a spa-inspired bath — walk-in shower, heated floors, teak cabinetry — plus a 25-foot double-door walk-in closet, plus laundry hook-up. The lower level features a media room, two bedrooms with custom built-in dressers, & a full bath with dual sinks, sandstone counters, heated floors, and a glass tile wall walk-in shower. A lower cedar deck opens to a grassy, tree-shaded yard perfect for warm summer evenings. A well deserved mention to the attached garage: featuring custom arched wood carriage doors with hand-forged iron hinges, copious built-in storage for all your toys & a pull-through to a rear parking pad, and deck; garage opens to a mudroom with a hammered copper sink & storage for all the gear you need for Northwest living. Served by highly sought after schools, minutes from HWY 30, St. John’s, NW Portland, and a scenic drive to the Sunset Corridor. Homes like this aren't built anymore. This one was.
