400 SW Edgecliff Rd

A romantic rose-adorned country villa sited on nearly an acre fronting the original Edgecliff loop created when Dunthorpe was a newly established neighborhood. Designed in 1935 by Harry Borland for Mrs. William Zimmerman, the residence was dubbed the "Mahogany House" for its exquisite millwork. Offering complete privacy and solitude, this magical residence surrounded by extensive gardens enjoys views of both Mt. Hood and the Willamette River.Decades ago the current owners engaged renowned Landscape Architect Craig Kiest to design grounds with a circular driveway, lush gardens & patio for the heated in-ground pool.
