Tucked into a rare cul-de-sac setting in SE Portland's Foster-Powell neighborhood, this home delivers a hard-to-find combination of privacy, functionality, and everyday livability just moments from the Mt. Scott Community Center and endless bike routes, bus stops, and commuter routes for getting around easy. Inside, a crowd-pleasing open floorplan creates easy flow between kitchen, dining, and living spaces ideal for both daily life and entertaining. The kitchen is light and bright with a direct connection to the main living areas, making it easy to stay connected whether you're hosting or keeping things low-key.Upstairs, three bedrooms plus a dedicated office offer flexibility for how you live today-with the option for a true fourth bedroom if needed. The primary suite features an ensuite bath and a comfortable, private feel. Out front, a covered porch creates a welcoming entry and a place to slow down and enjoy the neighborhood. Out back, a completely different experience-wild, natural, and full of character. Thoughtfully planted with eight varieties of fruiting trees and plants, winding paths, a covered patio, storage shed, and even a cold smoker, this is a space for anyone who values outdoor living with a bit of personality. Additional highlights include a rare double-deep garage w/ shelving, high-efficiency HVAC system, and true move-in ready condition just in time for Summer. [Home Energy Score = 8. HES Report
