The daylight basement is tiled, with a full bathroom, the laundry room with outside entrance, and a huge family room. This space is perfect for playing, and could also be refinished into an attached ADU or guest suite.

The detached garage is oversized, and also has potential to be an ADU or other finished space. Or use it’s high door and ceiling for boat or RV storage, as a workshop, or even put a car in there. Go crazy!

Master Suite

The Master Suite on the top floor is a world unto itself. In addition to the large bedroom, there is a big walk in closet, bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower, sitting area with bay window seat, and private second story deck overlooking the yard. Sunshine floods in from windows on three sides, this is a retreat you won’t want to leave!

Backyard Studio

The hidden gem at the back of the yard is this cottage. The perfect studio for an artist. Plenty of room for yoga or a massage table. An office for working at home but not at your dining room table. A retreat from the rest of the world. A sanctuary for privately meeting with clients. A space to call your own. How will you spend your time here?

SE Portland

You may never leave the mini forest of your backyard, but if you do need to venture out, then check out all that surrounds this home.

Schools, East Portland Community Center, Glendoveer Golf Course with it’s trails, Powell Butte, plus plenty of shopping options.

One of the sellers favorite things about the home is it’s location on a side street. They loved being able to take their kids out on bike rides and walks.
