About this home

Welcome home to your treetop view cottage, surrounded by peace and serenity. Long afternoon conversations, early morning coffees, gatherings with friends of all kinds, and evenings unwinding outdoors are all made possible courtesy of your massive wraparound deck and corner lot. With multiple covered deck sections, privacy screening, expansive views of towering trees, along with a large patch perfect for your next garden, and an ample grass yard, the good vibes freely flow from outdoors in. Head inside and you'll find welcoming, open concept living and dining rooms with classic touches like real hardwoods combined with the livability of an updated kitchen and features you'll love like vinyl windows for energy efficiency. A large, bright guest room and full bath are close at hand while your extra large primary suite is tucked away at the back of the house for extra privacy. The primary suite is a true haven of relaxation, with a skylight, built-ins, and space for you to stretch out at the end of a long day. The large ensuite has plenty of room to get ready for the day or unwind in the large soaking tub after a good gardening session. You can truly live on one level here, although if you're looking for a perfect workshop or media room, you can utilize the bonus space downstairs for either of those! Set in SW PDX, you have great access to parks, trails, amenities, and education. || UPDATES: the sellers have recently had the home repiped, replaced a retaining wall, and added new water heater. Peace of mind built in for you! [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10201463]

About Far

Southwest

Far Southwest, located between the Willamette River and the Tualatin Mountains, is a residential and semi-rural Portland neighborhood with wooded hillsides and winding creek corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hillsdale Town Center at SW Capitol Hwy and SW Sunset Blvd, where independent cafes, a long-running bookstore, and everyday services line a compact main street. Community pillars include Powell’s Books at Cedar Hills Crossing, the historic Multnomah Arts Center, and the Hillsdale Farmers Market. Housing ranges from mid-century ranches to newer hillside builds, often framed by tall firs. Trails and viewpoints shape daily rhythms, with Forest Park’s southern edges and Tryon Creek’s ravines close by. Commuter routes follow SW Barbur Blvd and the MAX at nearby stations, while quieter lanes climb toward Council Crest.
