The Macleay View home has an unusual pedigree. Architecture by Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works in conjunction with Studio J and built by one of Portland best: Don Tankersley. The house is built into the hillside above Portland facing East, and offers fabulous views across the city to at least three mountains and the Columbia River. It has largely open plan living with 4 bedrooms - most with their own bathroom. The master suite takes the whole of the top floor and simply has the best views from the 50ft long deck! Morning coffee would be lovely from up here. An elevator from the garage stops at all floors and is large enough for you and your groceries, particularly useful for kitchen as the door to the elevator is right by the pantry. The kitchen is full of european styling and has masses of good storage whilst retaining a low profile. The dining room is large enough to take a table for 12 or more and opens directly to the living room with a door the deck on your right. One of two fireplaces is here, making the space cosy in the chillier evenings. Up half a level of low, wide stairs, is the family room with wiring for a media center behind the shelving. Craftmanship is king in this house and this is where you begin to notice the thoughtful, unobtrusive use of storage. Up another half level, two bedrooms a bathroom and a washer/dryer hook up in the cupboards on the landing. Up again to the aformentioned master suite, with large walk-in closet and possibly one the most beautiful bathrooms in Portland! There is a guest bedroom or study by the front door and downstairs by the garage is the utility room and wine storage.

Full of Asian and European infuences, this house really does have to be seen to fully appreciate the detail and scale.
