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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
There was plenty of room for all 9 of us which was great. We did run into a few issues, like the TV in the game room required a code to use any of the streaming apps so we couldn't watch anything. We could not get the soundbar or any sound from the TV in the living room to work so we really couldn't watch that TV either. There was left over food in the drawer under the stove and some of the pots/pans baking sheets had stuck on food on them. The ceiling fan above the table had about a 1/2 inch of dust on it.

Good - spacious comfortable bedrooms, nice game room and deck. Secure, gated and safe neighborhood.Bad -trash in cans from previous guests, full dirty dishwasher, windows were filthy with dead flies in the tracks. We were not able to use the tvs in bedrooms or game room as they required a code. We had to wash the billard balls and table edges as they were sticky. My husband called and forwarded pictures but we only recieved an automated response as it was the weekend.We had a good time but definitely left it cleaner than wr found it.

Great for our large group
We had a group of 10 stay for 2 nights. Had a great time on the property enjoying the backyard and entertainment areas. The pool table was the star and it was also nice to be able to bring our dog along. The location was easy to get to but felt private as soon as we were through the gate.

Great Stay
Home was as advertised. Only issue we experienced involved the electronic gate over the driveway. It stopped working without any explanation. Worked through the issue with the property manager and we obtained updated code (it reset itself). They were kind enough to assist with making up for our inconvenience. Would stay again.

Great Property - a couple nitpick things
Great property, lovely home! The patio/deck space was exceptional to hang out. A couple of small nit-picky things: the drip coffee maker didn't work, and there wasn't a proper BBQ - both of these are pretty essential equipment.

Nice large home
Big family home in good location near Washington Square and Trader Joe's, etc. Walkable area of town.
Nice bedrooms, rec room downstairs. Good flow for family or friend groups. Beautiful front and back yards. Gated and fenced, however a recent storm brought down a huge tree that broke through the fence by a backyard creek. The property manager has been notified. Outdoors furniture could use an update, but overall this is a beautiful property for a family visit and it is dog-friendly. About 15 minutes to Doernbecher. Property managers were very responsive and helpful.

Classic and accommodating
This house reminds me of the old house I grew up in, but on a larger scale so it felt wonderfully sentimental to spend Christmas here with my family.
