Set among the trees on a quiet cul-de-sac minutes from downtown Portland, this light-filled home sits on more than half an acre with the kind of privacy that’s hard to find this close in. The great room sets the tone. Vaulted ceilings rise overhead and a wall of windows frames the greenery outside, filling the room with afternoon light that lingers through sunset. The open kitchen, fully remodeled in 2021, is made for cooks and company alike, with a professional BlueStar range, a Carrara marble backsplash and a custom built-in bar. The dining nook adds a playful bit of history: its built-in benches were crafted from reclaimed bowling-alley wood, so every breakfast comes with a story worth telling. The bedrooms line the wooded, creek side of the house, where every window looks into the trees and mornings feel like waking up in a treehouse. Outside, year-round greenery surrounds a large deck with a built-in gas grill, a back patio, a level yard and the creek itself, a setting made for long summer evenings. Heated bathroom floors, new central A/C and a Level 2 EV charger take care of the everyday. Washington Park, the Oregon Zoo, the Japanese Garden and nearby trails are all close by, and the home is zoned for Lincoln High School. Quick access to the Sunset Highway puts the Beaverton and Hillsboro tech corridor, the coast and Mt. Hood within easy reach. Unincorporated Multnomah County. Tucked away, but never far.
