49 BRIARWOOD RD

Lake Oswego, OR 97034

Tucked into over an acre of gardens, trees, and meandering stone paths, the Emma Austin stone house is a fairytale. Hand-laid river rock, arched French doors and whimsical details create a magical sense of place where every corner is warm, soulful, and united with nature. Architect Joseph Jacobberger’s artistry sings: from bold stonework to custom built-ins and rich wood finishes. A studs-out 2020 reimagining by preservation specialist, the McCulloch Construction team, brought all new systems, a square footage expansion, cedar shingle siding, and a lifetime metal roof; preserving the peaceful cottage atmosphere while modernizing functions. At the heart of the home is a graceful, high-performance kitchen with marble counters, a generous island, and a professional Zline range with pot filler. Period lighting and large windows offer beautiful sightlines to the surrounding gardens. The living room is anchored by a dramatic stone and brick fireplace, flanked by original arched doors that open to a grand front porch with swing. Thoughtfully restored details, including casement windows and curated lighting infuse every space with charm. Upstairs, the dreamy primary suite is a luxurious forest retreat with a cozy fireplace and a spa-like bath featuring heated floors, soaking tub, marble finishes, and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms offer light-filled spaces for family or guests. A charming wine cellar with custom built-ins beckons for intimate tastings or personal collections. Outdoors, the property unfolds as a secret garden with lushly layered grounds and a handcrafted stone fountain. A storybook gazebo offers a cozy fireside escape, while a peaceful deck beside a murmuring waterfall invites quiet reflection. Easily walkable to downtown LO and minutes to Portland, with fantastic LO schools.  Enjoy the quaint historic Willamette Trolley. Plans/engineering for ADU over garage are complete. A living work of art in one of Lake Oswego’s most treasured neighborhoods.
