Clear as a Bell: Endless Views From This Glass Mansion in the Hills Above Portland, OR

Realtor.com

A stunning three-bedroom glass mansion in the hills of Portland, OR, has returned to the market for $8,998,000.

Built in 2001, the remarkable 7,581-square-foot residence boasts everything from a temperature-controlled, LED-illuminated wine collection to a two-lane lap pool that spans the exterior of the home.

“The architecture is really unique,” says listing agent Justin Harnish, of Harnish Company Realtors. “When you come down the road, you think, ‘What is that?’ The amount of steel and concrete used to build the home is incredible. The location gives it a feeling like it is hanging over the city.”

According to The Oregonian, financial adviser Ron Sloy owns the residence.

Sloy, also known as “Really Tan Portland Ken,” lived next door to Portland Trail Blazers legend Jerome Kersey. After Kersey’s unexpected death in 2015, Sloy put up an enormous light display on his property that read “JK25.”

Sloy and his wife, Shantel, purchased the property in 2012. It has bounced on and off the market since 2022, when it was listed for $9,495,000.

The interior boasts several lavish details, including Italian stone flooring and a German-engineered steel front door and window package.

“Over the years, more than $15 million has been invested in the home,” Harnish notes. “Hardwood floors were installed last year, and this year, porcelain floors were installed. They redid the whole house audio and video system as well and also put in privacy gates at the driveway. The owners continue to keep babying the home.”

The unique property affords spectacular views of the city, rivers, and mountains.

“The continuity is incredible,” Harnish says. “When you walk into the home, you really walk into the view. It has wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling glass all around.”

Other high-end amenities include an elevator, full bar, screening room, “world-class” fitness center, and entertainment room.

The chef’s kitchen features a separate dining area, and the “cabinets are all steel with slab on top that is 6 inches thick,” Harnish notes. “It is a commercial-grade kitchen that is utilitarian, but it is also warm and designed for entertaining. It is surrounded by these walls of glass that provide 300-degree views of the city.”

The primary suite is conveniently located on the first floor. Two additional bedrooms can be found on the lower level.

“Inside the primary suite, it’s almost as if the shower and vanity have just one slab of stone,” Harnish explains. “They have some built-in furniture as well, including a custom-built master bed. The suite also has its own terrace and a custom closet.”

The dramatic glass-enclosed, LED-lit wine room “is like a party room in itself,” he says. “You can change the color of the background and see into it through glass doors. People have said it looks like something you might see in Tony Stark’s home from ‘The Avengers.’ There is this tasting room that curves around, so you have this space, then the wine cooler and lounge. It’s incredible.”

“The owners have also redone the pool,” he says. “When you are standing on the lower level and look out, you almost don’t see the pool. It’s almost as if it were built into the terrace.”

The home is located just 20 minutes from Portland International Airport.

“It’s only a short drive to downtown Portland as well,” he says.
