This fantastic mid-century Foster-Powell ranch comes packed with key updates & and has lots of flex space inside and out. The south-facing home is filled with light throughout the day and is nestled on an oversized & fully-fenced corner lot. There’s a full-sized driveway plus a spacious carport for additional storage options. The large, private backyard is filled with productive fruit trees — pear, cherry and plum — and is anchored by a sweet 18’x14′ covered deck, as well as a 12’x10′ bricked firepit area, for any entertaining needs. The side yard has two large raised beds with a drip irrigation system, and plenty of additional space for gardening and play space.
On the inside, there are two living rooms and two bedrooms, each with plenty of space for chill/workout/hobby/office options, as well as a generously-sized kitchen and bathroom. One of the living rooms features a high-end Jøtul F45 woodstove that can easily heat the entire home. Recent updates abound throughout the home: dual bathroom vanity, 200amp panel/service, H20 heater, engineered hardwood and tile flooring, and a PEX replumb that replaced all galvanized pipes and complements the existing copper lines (all 2020); commercial-grade washer & dryer, extensive landscaping/plantings, and cedar fencing (2019); 95+% furnace and all new ceiling fixtures (2018).
It’s located in a convenient, centralized location less than 1 mile to all of the Foster-Powell bars and restaurants, including 5 & Dime, Atlas Pizza, and the Portland Mercado, as well as the Lents Town Center business district and MAX station, spacious Lents Park, the Mt. Scott Community Center & Pool and the cool new Collective Oregon Eateries (CORE) food carts.
This home holds big value, has so much to love, and is turnkey ready for its next loving owners!

My training and background as a licensed attorney helps me lead with a sharp attention to detail, a keen ear and focused voice, and an unwavering commitment to integrity, transparency and discretion.

Read my client reviews here.
The choice to become a real estate broker was a joyful combination of two very different careers. Prior to moving to Portland in 2008, I was an environmental and title closing attorney in Massachustts. Since then, I've served as a program manager and fundraising professional for Portland-based non-profit organizations Friends of Trees, The Freshwater Trust and Ecotrust.
While not scouting homes and helping clients, you can find me riding bicycles, skiing, digging in the garden, experimenting in the kitchen, and exploring the stunning beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
Please let me know how I can help you or someone you know. Thank you!
*I'm licensed as an attorney in Massachusetts and can't offer any sort of legal advice.
