This handsome and sturdy mid-century ranch in Powellhurst-Gilbert offers a rare opportunity to set down roots on a nearly 1/4 acre lot with an oversized garage/workshop. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated by only its second owners, this home strikes a rare balance of warmth, function, and peace of mind. The efficient single-level layout lives comfortably with three bedrooms, eat-in kitchen, and bright, inviting living spaces. Beautiful original hardwood floors pair with fresh interior and exterior paint, creating a home that feels both rooted and renewed. A substantial series of improvements adds confidence at every turn: bathroom remodel (2021), rebuilt back porch (2022), new gutters and downspouts, bedroom windows, and garage doors (2023), followed by upgraded vapor barrier, attic and floor insulation, and roof venting (2024). New flooring in the kitchen, dining room, and back bedroom, along with a refreshed half-bath vanity, further modernize daily use (2025). System updates include a new hot water heater and brand new PEX plumbing, while the dishwasher, refrigerator, and washer/dryer have all been updated within the past several years. THE standout feature is the extra-deep detached two-car garage spanning 768sf, offering uncommon flexibility for workshop space, creative studio, or future ADU potential. The landscape has been thoughtfully tended with native plants and shrubs and is currently in the process of becoming a Certified Backyard Habitat. The fully fenced yard offers a garden area, fruit trees, play structure, and plenty of space to unwind, gather, and slow down. Located in a well-connected area, you’re just minutes from Beggars Tick Wildlife Refuge, Springwater Corridor, Lents Town Center and its amenities, with quick access to I-205 and multiple public transit options for an easy commute. This is a home with real heart — comfortable, deeply cared for, and ready for its next chapter. [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10057947]
