A Frank Lloyd Wright Inspired Home
Could a beautiful estate home have a more appropriate street name? 'Happy Days Lane' is in fact, the best way to describe this extraordinary home that took decades of hard won experience from an Architect/Engineer and a successful Interior Designer to create a masterpiece of organic form and function in the Frank Lloyd Write tradition.
That's right, you read correctly. This single-level home is modeled on the principles of the greatest architect of the 20th century, Mr. Frank Lloyd Wright.
As you come up to the front entry, located at the end of the driveway, your anticipation heightens as you attempt to peer through the gate of the courtyard that lies beyond the fence. The Owners purposely designed the front of the house with a fence so that it could become their own private outdoor sanctuary.
Entering The Residence
As you enter the dramatic courtyard, you cannot help but
gasp at the amazing display of outdoor living space which features, fruit
trees, a plethora of flowers, a stunning waterscape complete with waterfall,
and a patio system that will get your outdoor entertainment juices flowing.
As you enter the majestic entry, you’ll immediately notice a
hallmark of Wright design which is that ‘form and function are one.’ As you enter the home through the Stain Glass Entry Doors and gaze at the wide
open space before you, you’ll appreciate how the interior space seamlessly
continues on to the breathtaking outdoor landscaping and Cascade Mountain Views
beyond.
The interior living
space nearly defies you to limit its endless possibilities of room design and
furniture placement. The elegant granite fireplace sits ready to warm you on a cold winters night, yet does not compete
with the sweeping views of nature outside.
A Home Of Distinction
Another principle
you’ll quickly notice is Wright’s belief in Geometric Consistency. From the ornate, hand-made stained glass
skylights, to the echoing geometric design of the trim, window sills, ceiling
treatments and African Mahogany doorways, you’ll pick out something new each time you enter this
residence. Note the Ash floors with Gunstock Walnut accents.
The Grand Hall is a perfect place to display your Fine Art
collection, and the natural light that bathes each room of the house is a
delight to experience.
The Bonus Room
that sits off the primary living space holds a 250 year old secret…take a look
at the handmade, porcelain fireplace mantelpiece. It was brought all the way from Portugal and
carefully preserved to the present day.
The current owner waited years before finally incorporating this priceless
treasure into the design of this particular home. It will be a conversation piece for as long
as it remains in existence.
Frank Lloyd
Wright’s love affair with Organic form and function is not lost with the many
built-in features that can be found in nearly every room of this home. From the bookcases to the adaptive lighting,
nothing was overlooked in the careful creation of this one-of-a –kind home.
A True Gourmet Kitchen
As you enter the kitchen, it would not be an exaggeration to say you will feel a little thrill of excitement with the perfect use of its generous space.
Many luxury homes claim to have a Gourmet Kitchen...let's just say that this home actually delivers on that promise! From its separate Refrigerator & Freezer spaces to the nearly endless counter space, cutting block island, European Steamed Beech cabinet design, and high-end appliances, there is no party this kitchen cannon handle!
The kitchen also has a sunlit breakfast area that looks out to the garden waterscape and Cascade Mountains. The kitchen also has a giant walk-in pantry with 2nd dishwasher, counter space, shelving and sink. You simply have to see it to believe it.
Just off the kithen lies the Craft Room which could become a 4th Bedroom with an on-suite bathroom.
A Rare Feature In Central Oregon
You also have a feature that is almost unknown in Central Oregon…your
very own indoor Pool/Spa Solarium with 10 ft. high celing.
Enjoy swimming countless laps without moving an inch in your very own
Endless Pool. This modern pool allows
you to swim to your hearts content without the maintenance and expense of a
larger lap pool. Specialized jets allow
you to swim in place for as long as you like, yet it is large enough to do
water aerobics in too. The kids or
grandkids will love using it, and best of all you’ll be able to keep a watchful
eye on them from the Kitchen and Craft rooms.
You can also enjoy a warm soak in the adjoining Hot Tub which is a
perfect place to relax while watching the sun set, or slowly energizing
yourself into a new morning’s day.
A Master Suite With More To Offer
When it comes to the Master Bedroom Suite, you will no
longer have to worry about whether your California King Bed, along with your
Amore’ and chest of drawers and easy chair will all fit in the bedroom
space. Finally you’ll have the space for
everything you want in this Master Bedroom Suite.
Best of all, you get the same amazing space
in the Master Bathroom as well, which was ingeniously designed to give each
partner individualized sink rooms, privacy and two walk-in closets. In fact, the Master Bathroom is so large that
it actually has a 4-person Infrared Sauna sitting in it right now which the
current owner is willing to sell apart from the house.
The 6 foot square custom tile and glass
shower is a welcome way to greet the morning, along with the warmth of the heated floors.
Another ingenious design element this home incorporates is a
laundry room that sits off of the Master Bathroom where most of your clothes
changing takes place. No more walking
through the house with your dirty clothes, or troublesome piles of laundry that
can be seen from other rooms of the house.
Plus if you’re coming in from outdoors this laundry room has its own
outdoor entrance. You can come in from
working in the shop, barn, greenhouse or garden and drop your clothes in the
laundry room and walk directly into the shower! It should be noted that the Craft Room is also set up for a secondary
laundry hookup if a homeowner desires.
