About this home
Located in the heart of University Park, this well-cared-for home blends classic character with updates that complement its original style. Uncommon for a home of this era, it offers three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite. Hardwood floors run through the main level, while the updated kitchen and baths provide a fresh, clean look without losing the home's personality. The full basement adds flexible living space with a family room featuring a fireplace and classic wood paneling, plus a laundry room and generous storage. Furnace/AC in 2013. The backyard is level, private, and beautifully landscaped, with a large covered patio, tool shed, and plenty of usable outdoor space. Just minutes from parks, neighborhood restaurants, local shops, and the University of Portland, this home offers the character of an established neighborhood with the convenience of everything nearby.

University Park, located between Interstate 5 and the Willamette River, is a residential and campus-adjacent Portland neighborhood with a collegiate energy and a leafy street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around N Lombard Street near the University of Portland gates, where coffee counters, casual bites, and student-day foot traffic set the tempo. The University of Portland anchors the blufftop skyline, while the historic University Park Methodist Church adds a landmark steeple to the streetscape. Early-20th-century bungalows and Tudors mix with tidy midcentury houses on calm blocks. Bluff-edge viewpoints and pocket parks shape daily routines. A short hop south, the St. Johns Bridge frames the horizon with industrial-river scenery.
