504 Spyglass Dr

Description

Built by local Architect Rob Thallon, This home was the very first house built in Spyglass and has one of the nicest and largest lots in the entire neighborhood. Every inch of this home is intricately detailed with a cozy fireplace, sun room, pantry, Italian Tile floors in kitchen/dining area. Great storage space with lots of hidden cubbies throughout. Views from each window, private back patio with views of the mountains and golf course. Rob Thallon, previous Dean of Architecture for the University of Oregon, now professor emeritus, architected and oversaw the building of the house. The custom build was modeled after a European architectural style observed after the original owner's visits to Europe. Because the owner of the house was also the owner of what became the Oakway Golf Course, she had first-pick in terms of location and orientation, with a spectacular view of the golf course in an extremely quiet area. In summer, because the golf course is watered regularly, and because of the tree coverage, it remains a good 10 degrees or so cooler in the yard than in surrounding areas. The house is nestled deeply away. No one can see inside the house from the street, so it is very private and the location is unbeatable with close access to shopping, healthcare, restaurants, Downtown and I-5. This house is 1 of 4 houses with common area access located directly below the house, above the golf course. The common area is unique in that the owner of 504 Spyglass may use the common area or even improve it as desired, which is a great benefit to the property. Additionally, no houses can be built in the common area, so the house will always have a spectacular view of the golf course. The home is made of very fine materials with excellent craftsmanship and woodwork throughout. The high-quality clear Doug Fir wood used throughout the interior can no longer be sourced. Rebuilding this home today would be a multi-million dollar venture. This is a must-see home.
