Back on market - no fault of house or seller. Multi-generational living? Adult residential care? Or just looking for more space? This delightful 5-bedroom property on a large corner lot is tucked into a quiet stretch of the Centennial Park neighborhood and offers flexibility for a wide range of lifestyles. With 5 bedrooms on one level, the layout is ideal for convenience, privacy, or specialized use. The garage was converted to extra bedrooms (with one full bathroom) and offers separation from the rest of the home if desired. Enjoy a partially fenced, low-maintenance yard with a gated entry to the back portion that adds both privacy and peace of mind. The location is hard to beat: quality schools, a highly walkable neighborhood, and close proximity to parks, shops, and local favorites. This home truly has it all: space, versatility, and a fantastic community setting.
Gresham-Centennial, located between Downtown Gresham and the Portland city line, is a residential and commercial Gresham neighborhood with big-box corridors and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around SE 182nd Ave and SE Division St, where auto shops, taquerias, produce markets, and everyday services line a fast-moving strip. Housing ranges from mid-century ranches to newer subdivisions, with wide arterials defining the blocks. The Springwater Corridor and nearby greenways add a calmer counterpoint for walking and biking. Mt. Hood Community College brings a steady campus rhythm at the eastern edge. Community pillars include the Center for the Arts Plaza, the Historic Downtown Gresham district, and the Mt. Hood Community College Planetarium.
