Spring is coming and with it the highly anticipated Street of Eames modern home tour. If you missed Thursdays Oregonian feature  in the Homes and Garden section on the Street of Eames tour happening April 18th here is a link. http://www.oregonlive.com/hg/index.ssf/2009/02/the_street_of_eames_tour_revis.html . The tour features 6 architecturally significant homes in the Portland area.  Tickets went on sale Monday morning at 10:00 am and promptly sold out within the hour. The highlight this year will be a John Yeon home.  A lifelong resident of Portland, Mr. Yeon’s best-known work was the 1937 Watzek house, a wooden, pitched-roof house whose design exploited dramatic views of Mount Hood. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the shingled dwelling contrasted the machine-tooled look of the International style and helped define NW modern regionalism. Designs for the house were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in 1939.

Mr. Yeon also specialized in the design of museum installations and was responsible for the interior design of galleries at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Mo., the Fagan galleries in the Palace of the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco and the Asian galleries in the Portland Art Museum.

Curious how the rich and famous live in your very own city?  This over the top mansion, owned by a retired Blazer, will make your head spin!  6 beds and 5.5 baths is just the beginning.  A circular dramatic master suite offering separate his/her dressing areas, circular steam shower, jetted tub, fire place & PANIC room seem like a lot, but after a day of playing on the lit tennis court, swimming in the Infinity Pool, playing in your Billiards lounge & having a private concert in your music den, it will seem well deserved.  This house has ever possible amenedy one could wish for at a luxury resort and 17 acres to make it has private as can be.  Add a 4 car garage, 3 level pool house ( about the square footage of my house!),fully finished kids playhouse and a spectacular view of the Willamette Valley and you have an estate that is truly something off of Television!
