5040 SW Hilltop Lane: The Land of Enchantment: Architect Roi L. Morin Evokes Old-Hollywood Hills Charm within Portland’s West Hills on a 1 Acre parcel in un-incorporated Multnomah County.This Roi L. Morin designed residence evokes the restraint and grandeur of the 1940s - impossible to recreate and rare to find in unspoiled condition. Curved walls meet rich mahogany and rooms flow with deliberate generosity. This is the type of home one cherishes over a lifetime. Where holidays and celebrations are held for multiple generations.A hard to find main floor en-suite bedroom, located within in its own wing creates an ideal guest or multi-generational set up. The basement offers unlimited potential for additional bonus space with big windows and an exterior door.Set amongst a sprawling one-acre parcel, complete with a pool and pool house, that feels as if it was placed by a Hollywood Hills director. Imagine pool parties set against the backdrop of unforgettable architecture of the 1970s with soaring ceilings, and a guest house wrapped in Western Red Cedar. The grounds unfold with mature landscaping, including shrubs, azaleas and 90 year old rhododendrons bordering pathways and staircases the lead to detached outbuildings, including a pool house, two garages - one with attached greenhouse, and the other with a workshop and two-story built-ins. Both detached garages have extra-high garage doors and ceiling heights and have accommodated RVs, boats and multiple vehicles. The home is on public water while a private well irrigates the grounds and fills the pool. This is an opportunity to revive an iconic property with soul, scale, drama and star quality for generations to come.
