Dream location, dream layout, dream view in South Waterfront’s premier building, Atwater Place. This elegant SE 14th floor home is sophisticated yet serene, where you feel you’re on top of the world. Its floor-to-ceiling windows give you and your guests panoramic S, SE, and W views of the Willamette River, the Cascades (Mt. Hood front & center) or the West Hills from every single room (and motorized shades when day is done). The 2 spacious en-suite bedrooms have completely redone spa-style baths (the primary in stunning book-matched marbled slab porcelain), high-end fixtures and cabinetry, and heated floors; the layout gives that 2nd bedroom the privacy that guests love. The den could easily be an office, 3rd bedroom, or workout area. The kitchen is chef’s kiss -- granite countertops and backsplash, an ingenious custom drawer system that keeps everything at your fingertips, an island with a built-in wine cooler and bar seating, and ample storage with recently refaced cabinetry and a pantry. The living and dining areas and balcony have a postcard view down the Willamette, offering a perfect spot to watch the Christmas Ships sail by over a glass of cheer or a meal with friends. The Atwater itself models efficiency and convenience: the recently refurbished common areas include a beautiful party room, and the building is Gold LEED certified. Their 24-hour concierge service?...second to none, managing deliveries, guests, and everything in between with professionalism and a smile. Walking paths along the waterfront are literally outside the front door, the well-maintained grounds feature a reflecting pool and bocce ball court, and bike storage, community social events, and off-campus excursions make leisure time a joy. Walk away from the river and into a virtual village of the South Waterfront of restaurants, shops, parks, farmer's market, professional services (including aerial tram service to OHSU), and the Portland Streetcar. Life should be easy; this home makes it so.
