Welcome to one of the most peaceful places in Portland. Located on a quiet street abutting woodlands, you'll feel miles away from the city while being in one of Portland's most desirable neighborhoods. Deering Center, with its quiet tree-lined streets and easy access to both Rosemont and Deering Center amenities, makes this one of the most sought-after locations for those rightsizing, downsizing, starting up, or slowing down. Set high on its lot, this home is truly turnkey. From the roof to the siding to the windows to the heating system and more, every detail has been updated and lovingly maintained. Offering rare single-level living with an open-concept design, the home balances comfort, convenience, and opportunity. The daylight basement with high ceilings is ready for expansion, and the generous lot offers potential for a garage or other possibilities. Immediate access to Portland Trails means hiking, biking, and outdoor adventure are just outside your door. It's rare to find a home at this price point offering this level of move-in-ready quality. This is the perfect condo alternative, a smart starter home, a right-size opportunity, or a 'lock-and-leave' option for those who travel. From this peaceful setting, you can walk to everything you need — shops, cafés, parks, and trails — all while enjoying the remarkable balance of urban convenience and natural beauty. This wonderful neighborhood is calling. Are you listening? Offers due 9/2 @ 5PM.
