The Urban Permaculture Oasis. Tucked into one of SW Portland’s most beloved pockets, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 2,436 sq ft home sits quietly on .52 acres overlooking Marshall Park, where small creeks run through the trees and trails lead you to for hiking, dog walking, or a birding expedition. The house itself has been thoughtfully updated where it counts: new Milgard windows throughout (2023), central air (2019), new roof (2015), PEX plumbing, generator-ready. Upstairs, two bedrooms, a full bath, and a living room with forest views. Downstairs, the easily accessible daylight basement houses a recently added permitted suite complete with its own kitchen, living room, and a bedroom large enough for a king bed. Ideal for multigen living, guests, or rental income. Both levels offer easy, nearly step-free entry. The former garage brings 380 sq ft of flexible bonus space with French doors wide enough to still fit a car. Use it as a playroom, studio, home gym, or reclaim it as a garage.The backyard is the star. Gently sloped and fully usable, with a sunny promontory for morning coffee, a sheltered firepit area for evenings, raised beds, and a side driveway for easy access. The permaculture food forest includes asparagus, artichokes, a full herb garden, and more. The orchard runs deep: heirloom Cox Orange Pippin apple, Bartlett pear, Shiro plum, persimmon, hazelnut, and mulberry, plus blueberries, golden raspberries, Hood strawberries, native berry bushes, grape vines, and heritage roses. An ultimate pollinator habitat and a Clean River Rewards participant to boot.The neighborhood feels a world away with winding streets and mature canopy overhead, yet just minutes from all the fun stuff: Multnomah Village, Maplewood, Lewis & Clark College, Marshall Park, and pretty much all of Portland!
