The elegant simplicity of this Skandi Modern masterpiece in the heart of Beaumont Wilshire neighborhood is divine. The gabled roof and symmetrical window placement uses the garage as the 4th square in the plane, building in a sense of order, thoughtful design and a home in sync with the older homes nearby. Built by Oregon Homeworks in 2019, known for their high quality, energy efficient builds and high-end finishes like smooth finish walls, the home was sited towards the back of the lot to allow the old oak tree to continue spreading its branches for generations to come. The foyer opens to a glass walled staircase and leads you into the dining and living room. Natural light pours in showcasing the open rooms with high ceilings and a practical layout where you don't see the kitchen immediately. The generous kitchen at the back of the house includes high end appliances, a pantry, a large island with storage on both sides, and tile work that works its way up to the ceiling. The wall of windows and large sliding glass doors off the kitchen create a seamless transition between inside and outside. Upstairs reveals a rare spacious family/media room, 3 bedrooms, hall bathroom, laundry room and a utility room with a ton of storage space. The primary bedroom features custom shutters with black out shades, a sizable bathroom, and a closet that would make Imelda Marcos blush. The other 2 bedrooms have west facing views with the old oak tree as the backdrop. None of the bedrooms share walls, prioritizing privacy. The fenced in backyard is an oasis of tranquility. The sublime landscaping includes a soothing fountain and uplighting for backyard glow into the evening hours. The south side has a raised bed with plenty of room for more. With so much light pouring into the home, the sellers have invested in smart shades on every window and additional smart features throughout the home. If ever there was a perfect newer build on the east side, this is it. [Home Energy Score = 7. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10218453]
