GORGE PRIVATE ESTATE DRIVING UP THE WINDING ROCK ROAD through a forest of conifers and oaks past moss covered basalt boulders gives one a hint of a special, almost magical place.  Cresting the hill and seeing the house settled at the top with a timeless welcoming grace.  Walk up the stone pathway to the wide porch that leads to double glass front doors where your feet will only be able to pause before entering a light filled space.     Architectural details catch the eye with subtle changes in textures and color.  Rooms flow into one another changing from cozy family spaces to rooms for entertaining a crowd.             Walls of windows in the living room join perfectly with the vaulted wood ceiling and wood covered beams to show the sparkling water of the Columbia River and seasons in the Gorge.            The dining room opens to the view from the living room yet has its own charm. A high ceiling adds drama while an iron chandelier rimmed with candles is suspended above the table paired with wall sconces of the same design.         An artistic kitchen design shows a preference for windows instead of cabinets mounted above the countertops.  Large drawers, a floor-to-ceiling cabinet and pantry provide ample space to cook extravagant meals.  A banquette gives space for friends to gather or children to read.  A door from the kitchen leads to a potage garden for herbs, European greens and tomatoes.  There is space just inside the door to store coats, shoes and garden gloves for easy organization.  The family room looks out to the garden and is close to the kitchen. Bedrooms and baths offer large windows, generous spaces and more details speaking of quality and thoughtfulness.  Solid wood doors, brushed nickel hardware, china sinks, tile floors and soft carpets make this an easy place to live.
