About this home
ASSUMABLE VA LOAN + UP TO SELLER CREDIT toward closing costs, prepaids or a rate buydown with acceptable offer. Room for everyone, plus a backyard ready for whatever you dream up. Tucked onto a private lot that feels almost like the country, this SW Portland home puts the best of Portland and Lake Oswego minutes away. Inside, there's space to spread out: four bedrooms, two and a half baths, two separate living spaces. Movie night can roll in the family room by the fireplace while someone else enjoys the quiet of the vaulted living room. Host the holidays in the formal dining room, or keep it casual in the breakfast nook. The kitchen is the heart of it all, with granite counters plus stainless gas appliances for real cooks. Take the slider from the nook to the refinished deck and flow out to the fenced yard, with gates on either side: a big, sunny blank slate for a garden, play space, dog run, firepit or all of the above. The primary suite sits far removed from the other bedrooms, a true private retreat. The bedroom at the end of the hall is conveniently set up as an office with built-in shelves. Updated paint and floors throughout make it feel like a new home. With a 2020 roof, fresh exterior paint, central air plus a smart thermostat, the big projects are done. A two-car garage, an attached garden tool shed, RV parking with room for the boat or camper, no HOA. Lace up for the Mountain Park trails, catch summer concerts at Westlake Park about a mile away, or browse the Lake Oswego farmers markets. You're minutes to New Seasons, Bridgeport Village, about 15 minutes to downtown Portland, roughly a half hour to PDX. Home Energy Score: 5. [Home Energy Score = 5.

Far Southwest, located between the Willamette River and the Tualatin Mountains, is a residential and semi-rural Portland neighborhood with wooded hillsides and winding creek corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hillsdale Town Center at SW Capitol Hwy and SW Sunset Blvd, where independent cafes, a long-running bookstore, and everyday services line a compact main street. Community pillars include Powell’s Books at Cedar Hills Crossing, the historic Multnomah Arts Center, and the Hillsdale Farmers Market. Housing ranges from mid-century ranches to newer hillside builds, often framed by tall firs. Trails and viewpoints shape daily rhythms, with Forest Park’s southern edges and Tryon Creek’s ravines close by. Commuter routes follow SW Barbur Blvd and the MAX at nearby stations, while quieter lanes climb toward Council Crest.
