1510 SW Highland Pkwy Portland, OR 97221

This is why people love Portland! Where else can you be surrounded by so much nature, privacy and space, and yet be at the office or out to dinner at one of your favorite restaurants in less than 10 minutes? This home and property offers just that and more. Location. Setting. Bones. Outdoor space. Floor plan. Updates. Schools. It checks all the boxes! Here, the premium quality of 1940’s-era construction blends seamlessly with updates to systems, floor plan and finishes. And the outdoor spaces are unparalleled, especially this close-in to the city. The huge, open lot (complete with yard, garden, multiple patios, a stand-alone gardening shed and a sport court) offers not only loads of recreation and entertaining spaces (you can host your own pickle-ball tournaments!) but tremendous privacy and an oasis of natural light against a forested backdrop. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the generous living and dining spaces with views of the lush, green surroundings, welcome you at the front door. A wonderfully spacious covered & heated deck (with skylights) allows for year-round entertaining and enjoyment. The thoughtful and well-executed addition of a primary suite upstairs offers the perfect sanctuary, with tasteful, timeless finishes, skylights, and an en-suite bathroom with heated floors, a soaking tub and walk-in shower. There's even an auxiliary washer-dryer hook-up. Additional updates include a beautifully renovated kitchen w/ custom walnut cabinetry, slab quartz countertops, and built-in breakfast nook w/ a surprising amount of cleverly incorporated storage; earthquake retrofitting; gas fireplace insert; and more! What else might you need or want? Excellent public schools! This home feeds into sought-after Ainsworth Elementary, W. Sylvan Middle and Lincoln High schools. [Home Energy Score = 3.
