Tucked at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this well-maintained 4-bedroom split-level ranch offers standout privacy in a neighborhood people rarely leave. With no through-traffic and a fully fenced yard, it feels like your own private retreat--yet you're minutes from shops, hospitals, parks, sports and entertainment venues, and the vibrant Portland downtown. Inside, a bright living area with a cozy fireplace sets an inviting tone, while central air conditioning keeps the home comfortable year-round. A spacious family room on the lower level adds flexibility for entertaining, hobbies, workouts, or movie nights. With four bedrooms and multiple living zones, the home easily supports work-from-home setups, creative spaces, or guest accommodations. Step outside to a deck, patio, and fenced yard perfect for relaxing, gardening, or outdoor dining. And when you want to get out, trails, parks, and natural areas are close enough to make outdoor time part of your everyday routine. Modern energy efficiency opportunities include an EV charging station that makes daily life easier for electric-vehicle owners. The property also has an existing design and layout plan for future solar-panel installation--ideal for buyers interested in reducing energy expenses or moving toward a more sustainable lifestyle. If you're looking for privacy, convenience, and a neighborhood known for long-term residents and genuine community, this home stands out.
