The space Historic SW Portland Sanctuary The perfect marriage of city convenience and closeness to nature, this historic home in Southwest Portland is a true gem. Beautifully situated on half an acre of land, the house sits directly adjacent to a serene greenbelt with tranquil Ash Creek running through the backyard. Built in 1947, this two-story home enjoys the distinction of being one of the oldest in the area. It's a quiet and private piece of property - and entirely fenced, with both drive-in and walk-in gates. Yet it's also mere minutes from some of Portland's most popular spots. You'll be a one-mile stroll from Washington Square, Portland's premier mall, and close to I-5 (two miles), Multnomah Village (three miles), Lewis & Clark College (five miles), and downtown (seven miles). The property is somewhat of an oasis for nature lovers, with its large yard providing space for children and dogs to play. Set up family games of badminton in the grass and linger on the covered deck for alfresco meals at sunset. The interior was designed for easy entertaining, with both the living room and the game room offering a wood-burning fireplace, a smart TV, and an enhanced sound system for movie nights. Prepare family dinners using stainless steel kitchen appliances and retreat to the game room afterwards for foosball, billiards, or a few rounds of darts. When it's time to turn in, you'll find a smart TV in each of the five bedrooms. Bonus features of the house include central air conditioning for your year-round comfort, several desk workspaces with complimentary WiFi, a washer/dryer, and a Pack 'N Play for your youngest travelers.
