Situated on SE 32nd Avenue in Ardenwald-Johnson Creek, this three-bedroom home sits at the intersection of convenience and livability. The bus stops practically at your door, downtown Milwaukie is a short distance away, and freeway access means you’re not fighting surface streets to get anywhere.Inside, the home is warmer and more spacious-feeling than the square footage implies. Original hardwood floors run throughout, grounding each room with character that newer construction rarely offers at this price. The layout is straightforward and flexible — three bedrooms that can be configured to fit how you actually live, whether that means a dedicated workspace, a guest room, or both.The real exhale happens out back. The large fenced yard is a genuine retreat from the energy of the avenue — room to garden, entertain, or simply spread out after a long day. That kind of private outdoor space is increasingly hard to find in close-in Portland, and at .13 acres it punches well above its weight.The broader neighborhood adds to the appeal. Parks, trails along Johnson Creek, and the independent shops and restaurants of downtown Milwaukie are all within easy reach. [Home Energy Score = 5.
