Nestled in a peaceful, tree-lined setting just moments from downtown Lake Oswego, this beautifully appointed Portland residence offers a rare balance of privacy, natural beauty, and elevated everyday living. Backing to serene HOA-maintained green space and surrounded by mature landscaping, the property feels like a private retreat while remaining close to premier dining, shopping, parks, and top-rated schools, with convenient access to Tryon Creek State Natural Area, New Seasons Market at Mt. Park, and downtown Lake Oswego amenities. The thoughtfully designed grounds feature raised garden beds, mature blackberry and raspberry vines, and fruiting plants that create an exceptional outdoor living experience, while a hot tub overlooks the peaceful green space and tranquil natural surroundings year-round. Inside, the home offers 4 bedrooms plus a versatile nonconforming 5th room ideal for a private office, fitness studio, guest retreat, or media space. Large windows throughout fill the home with natural light and frame picturesque views of the surrounding landscape, while the flowing floor plan blends comfort and sophistication with spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. An expansive lower-level storage area provides excellent flexibility for a workshop, hobby space, home gym, or additional storage, creating a rare opportunity to enjoy refined living in one of Southwest Portland’s most desirable locations with close proximity to everything Lake Oswego has to offer.
