Tucked away behind a lush rhododendron hedge on a prestigious street in Portland's Dunthorpe neighborhood sits a colonial estate that gracefully blends the impressiveness of an expansive traditional home set on resort-quality grounds with the youthful energy and tasteful whimsy of a contemporary family retreat. Internationally recognized interior designer Jessica Helgerson led an extensive remodel of this home, crafting visually stunning spaces designed to encourage gathering with family and friends. Soaring ceilings and abundant natural light set the stage for entertaining in every room. The main level features a gourmet kitchen with three Sub-zero refrigerators and a Sub-zero freezer, gas Wolf range with double ovens, dual Miele dishwashers and a Wolf steam oven. The kitchen's built-in dining nook, oversized living and family rooms all provide easy access to the magnificent grounds with multiple sets of French doors exiting to one of the city's most luxurious backyards. Enjoy summers in the pool and hot tub, host friends for a pickleball tournament, relax around the gas fire pit or sit at the outdoor dining table while overlooking the expansive, verdant lawn.The private quarters on the second floor of this 5-bedroom estate with a separate guest wing are no less impressive. The focal point of the primary suite is an oversized gas fireplace flanked by windows overlooking the gardens, and the relaxing en suite bathroom offers a soaking tub, steam shower and infrared sauna. Each of the four additional bedrooms is en suite, displaying carefully curated designer lighting and a selection of the finest marble flooring and tiles. On the lower level, you will find a speakeasy with a full-sized home theater, bespoke card table, and wet bar; an adjacent game room with reading nook outfitted with lacquered wood paneling and hand-painted De Gournay wallpaper; and a laundry suite befitting the scale of the estate.
