Tucked at the end of a quiet, dead-end street, this serene, contemporary treehouse sits on a private .23-acre corner lot flanked on two sides by 25 acres of protected green space along Stephens Creek. Cedar siding and a tile roof rise through the trees, with walls of Anderson windows and skylights pulling natural light deep into every level.The upper-level primary suite is a retreat unto itself: lofted, zoned for its own heating and cooling, with a private deck, walk-in closet, and en-suite bath with a spa like shower finished in natural stone and glass with skylight overhead. The living room anchors the main level with soaring vaulted ceilings, zoned heating, a certified wood stove, and skylights of its own, alongside a formal dining room with hardwood floors. The adjacent kitchen features a cook island, brand-new built-in gas oven, a walk-in pantry with extra full-size freezer, dedicated laundry room, and deck access with a gas line ready for the grill. Downstairs, 2 bedrooms, a full bath, separate office space, and a wine cellar round out the interior. Outside, the lot is certified as a Native Backyard Habitat, with views of the perennial Stephens Creek and year-round bird and wildlife sighting from nearly every window. A French drain keeps things dry through Portland's wet season, and the attached 2-car garage adds everyday convenience to the woodland setting while the attached fully equipped wood-turning studio complete with a 2020 Powermatic lathe is ready for the professional or the hobbyist.Minutes to Fulton Park, Willamette Waterfront Park, and Fred Meyer, with easy I-5 access. Just five minutes to Macadam's shops and restaurants, ten to OHSU and downtown Portland, this private retreat is your sanctuary in the city. [Home Energy Score = 5.

South Burlingame, located between Multnomah Village and Hillsdale, is a residential and hillside Portland neighborhood with winding streets and a leafy, creek-cut landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the SW 43rd Avenue and SW Vermont Street corner, where a small cluster of local storefronts and everyday errands sets a calm, lived-in rhythm. Nearby pillars include the Village Theater & Pub, the Multnomah Arts Center, and the Hillsdale Farmers Market. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches, tidy bungalows, and newer infill tucked into sloped lots. Tree canopy and pocket greenspaces shape a quiet, walk-and-bike feel, with Terwilliger’s trails and the Willamette River corridor close by. Commutes and weekend plans often orbit Barbur Boulevard and Capitol Highway, linking to shops, cafes, and campus energy.
