On a very special street in one of Portland's most sought-after neighborhoods, you'll find a private city oasis offering a wonderfully rare combination of features: a large, private lot with minimal landscaping; southern exposure and incredible natural light amidst a backdrop of trees; a quiet, peaceful setting in an amazingly close-in, convenient location; exceptional privacy and space to breath within a safe, connected neighborhood; and indoor and outdoor spaces that work as well for large group entertaining as for intimate gatherings. Natural light and lovely territorial views fill every room of the open-yet-cozy main floor w/ access from every room to a composite deck that spans the length of the home. The recent, beautifully remodeled kitchen features a vaulted ceiling, center island w/ bar seating, Quartz countertops, and Bosch stainless-steel appliances. The main floor primary suite w/ ensuite bathroom offers direct access to the deck and is connected via French doors to a cozy den (or great home office) w/ built-in shelving, gas fireplace and direct deck access as well. Downstairs is its own separate lair offering 2 bedrooms and a family room w/ gas fireplace and sliding doors out to the patio and pool - great potential for multi-generational living or separate living quarters. The flow from inside to out, from upper deck to lower patio, pool and garden beds makes entertaining and everyday living a breeze. With your own private sauna and in-ground pool and quick easy access (half a mile) to the Hoyt Arboretum’s 12-miles of trails, there’s no need for a gym membership or trips to the spa. The icing on this already delicious cake is its unbeatable location in a very special pocket of the Sylvan-Highlands neighborhood in unincorporated Multnomah County (lower property taxes!), just down the street from Portland’s historic Racquet Club w/ incredible proximity to downtown Portland, the Oregon Zoo, Washington Park, Forest Park and OHSU. Excellent public schools!
