Tucked into Portland’s tranquil Collins View neighborhood, 501 S Riverside Street is a private retreat surrounded by lush, mature landscaping. This classic 1962 home sits on nearly half an acre of land, offering a park-like setting with towering trees, curated plantings, and natural privacy. All easily enjoyed through floor to ceiling windows, lounging on the two large decks and ground level patio. Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms, plus a bonus room on the main level, three full bathrooms, one with a deep Japanese style soaking tub, and three fireplaces that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The finished basement offers convenient ample guest space. The attached two-car garage adds convenience, while the expansive yard offers endless potential for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful outdoors. Nearly endless hiking trails a stone's throw away in the River View and Tryon Creek natural areas. A rare blend of space, character, and nature, all less than 15 min drive from downtown Portland.
