The nine-car, boat, and RV property on Lake Oswego is for sale for $ 3,650,000

“Architectural Digest meets Car and Driver”, the real estate agent Peggy Hoag briefly describes a modern residence on Lake Oswego with nine garages and parking spaces as well as a mobile home or boat shelter.

The property at 5185 Carman Dr. is being offered for sale by Hoag Real Estate for $ 3,650,000.

The demand for real estate in the Pacific Northwest with a garage big enough for six or more cars motivates Hoag to run an online real estate site for auto enthusiasts.

Garages are good for all kinds of treasures and toys. Some tricky garages have lifts so that two vehicles can be stacked to save space. Special towers are used to store mobile homes.

The house on Oswego Lake, built in 2018, has an exterior cladding made of cultured stone, wood and metal. Recovered stencil beams were installed inside. Wood was also salvaged from massive water tank staves and old structures, which adds warmth and casual elegance to the modern design, says Hoag.

The Athena emblem on display was rescued from the original American Automobile Association (AAA) building in San Francisco, adds Hoag.

The 4,400 square meter apartment has a living room, a large room with kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two guest toilets. Large windows let in natural light and an inner courtyard provides for outdoor entertainment.

The 0.59 acre fenced property has a covered outdoor entertainment area with a built in BBQ. A seating area encircles a fire pit and there is a hot tub in the floor.
