West Hills English Cottage with Modern Updates & Private ADU! Arched doorways, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a sunroom with French doors flood this home with natural light while showcasing views of the private, tree-lined backyard. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street just a block from Council Crest Park, the location offers serene seclusion with effortless access to the city—all within a top-rated school district. Blending charm and function throughout, the home features a spacious living room and newly refurbished fireplace chimney, a formal dining room, a cozy breakfast nook, and bay windows that bring the outdoors in. The kitchen features exposed brick with floating shelves, custom cabinetry, and a large pantry, anchored by a wood-paneled ceiling above the breakfast nook. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a treetop retreat with a reading nook, built-in shelving, dual closets, and a spa-like ensuite boasting radiant heated floors, a walk-in shower, and a picture window that frames nature itself. Plus, an upstairs den offers flexible space for a home office, media room, or nursery. Enjoy the low-maintenance turf yards, two Trex decks, and a hot tub create inviting spaces to relax and entertain. Thoughtful updates extend beyond design, with upgraded electrical, plumbing, and a newer water heater, providing peace of mind. Completing the property is an ADU, generating approximately $2,800/month—ideal for guests or rental opportunity. This home preserves the fairytale charm of Portland’s West Hills while seamlessly incorporating modern updates. Come see it for yourself! [Home Energy Score = 1.

Very charming and interesting house. As you walk in, you go down the stairs right to the kitchen or left to the living room. Several updates have been done. The house also has lots of light.
