From my SE 60th Ave setting, I bring detached cottage living to a fresh 12 home community near the heart of Brentwood Darlington. Unlike many other new construction homes, I am not a condo and have no HoA. You own the underlying lot outright and have no additional monthly dues to worry about. Built by a local boutique builder, I make smart use of 899 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2.1 bathrooms across two levels. My main level is designed for daily connection, with open kitchen, dining, and living spaces that feel comfortable, efficient, and easy to use. Solid surface countertops, practical storage, and a central island support everyday cooking, hosting, and quick meals before heading out the door. A full appliance package, including refrigerator, washer and dryer, plus included window coverings, helps complete the package and ease the move in process. A mini split in the main living area provides efficient heating and cooling for year round comfort. Upstairs, two bedrooms and two full bathrooms add privacy, separation, and flexible use for work, guests, or retreat. My private fenced patio and yard space extends living outdoors with room for seating, planters, morning coffee, or a simple place to unwind. Brentwood Park is just up SE 60th with paved paths, picnic space, sports fields, play areas, and off leash dog space, while the nearby community garden adds a rooted neighborhood feel. Mt. Scott Community Center, Woodstock favorites, Foster area dining, local coffee, parks, and bike routes round out a lifestyle that feels connected, useful, and distinctly SE Portland.
