Set on a quiet residential street, this remodeled mid-century modern home sits on an oversized 0.19 acre lot and offers a rare Portland combination: timeless design, modern updates, and an established, highly productive urban homestead. Inside, skylights fill the living room with natural light, framing views of a mature Oregon black walnut tree. The open kitchen was updated in 2026 with quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, new flooring, a breakfast bar, and a cozy dining nook, positioned so cooking remains part of every conversation. A dining or bonus room off the main level adds flexible space. Two bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious utility room complete the main floor.Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite is a private escape, skylit for stargazing at night, with an en-suite bath and a private balcony overlooking the canopy below. Outside is where this property truly sets itself apart. A meticulously designed permaculture food forest lets you forage fruit, vegetables, nuts, and mushrooms right in your own yard. The hard work of establishing it is already done, so you get the harvest without the upkeep of a traditional garden. A solar-powered chicken coop and quail hutch offer the possibility of fresh eggs at home.The fenced front and back yards include a deck and trails, and an extended driveway complete with RV hookups. Recent updates provide added peace of mind, including a 2023 roof with a transferable lifetime warranty, 2020 water heater, and 2021 driveway. A truly one of a kind Portland retreat where nature, thoughtful design, and self sufficiency come together. Come home to freedom, abundance, and a life already in bloom.

Powellhurst-Gilbert, located between SE Powell Blvd and SE Foster Rd, is a residential and commercial Portland neighborhood with broad arterial streets and a patchwork of postwar ranch homes. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the SE 122nd Ave and SE Powell Blvd crossroads, where taquerias, international groceries, and practical storefronts set a working-day rhythm. Mid-century houses sit beside newer infill, with long driveways, mature street trees, and small apartment courts. Ed Benedict Park adds ballfields and open lawns that shape daily routines. Leach Botanical Garden brings a quieter, wooded counterpoint along Johnson Creek. The Springwater Corridor Trail threads the edge for bike commutes and weekend loops.
