Exceptional opportunity to own a solidly built Cape Cod-style home perched on Mt. Scott in Happy Valley, offering the perfect blend of timeless charm, meaningful upgrades, and long-term flexibility. This is the kind of property buyers wait for —meticulously maintained, thoughtfully improved, and positioned to support multi-use living. From the owner’s suite, enjoy beautiful views of Mount Hood, while the expansive lot provides space for gardening, gatherings, pets, and outdoor living. The professional landscaping creates a true “arrive home and exhale” experience—while still keeping you close to shopping, dining, parks, and commuter routes. Flexible Living + Income Potential: The home includes a fully permitted converted basement living space (completed in 2016) with a private exterior entrance, finished living and kitchen area (no stove), plus a bedroom and bathroom—making it ideal for multigenerational living, guests, work-from-home separation, or potential rental opportunities. The lower level is heated independently with electric wall heaters and a gas insert. There’s also an extra parking pad and additional driveway access, offering rare convenience for RV parking and added functionality—plus the potential for future ADU options (buyer to do due diligence).Seller improvements and upgrades include updated windows/doors, 2 gas fireplaces, finished basement w/ added bathroom, bedroom w/ walk-in closet and kitchen space. In main living area kitchen was remodeled with extended hardwood floors, new appliances (two ovens), and quartz counters. Upstairs a dedicated laundry room was added and bathroom remodeled with TV Frame, quartz counters and custom vanity. Significant electrical updates as well as EV charging installed in garage. Heat/Cooling Split upstairs. New water heater in 2025. Detailed Amenities/Upgrades List available upon request. This is a rare find. If you want a home that offers both lifestyle and long-term upside-this one is the move!

R20
Very Low Density Residential Zone
This low density urban residential district responds to development patterns already established in the City and perpetuates those patterns in recognition of the potential for infilling and the overall carrying capacity of the land. Single-family detached dwellings on larger lots are encouraged in this district which seeks to maintain elbow room and breathing space within the urban framework of the City. This district is a buffer between the low density and undeveloped areas and the higher density, more typical urban residential districts. It is within this district that uses and standards begin to change to reflect the desired urban trends and patterns. The district may be applied in sloped areas where clustering and other hillside protection standards are applied. The numerical designation of R-20 shall be interpreted to mean that the maximum density shall be one primary dwelling unit per 20,000 sq ft of lot area.
