At the edge of Forest Park, this Willamette Heights home delivers an unmatched outdoor lifestyle. Built in 1914 on a double lot and set above Aspen Avenue, it offers notable privacy, views from every window, and direct access to Portland’s most iconic trail network — a dream for runners, hikers, and mountain bikers. And with NW 23rd and NW Thurman just moments away, you’re never far from coffee, dining, groceries, and boutique shopping.A central staircase creates a dramatic focal point, opening into a living room that spans from the front of the house to the back, filled with natural light and hillside views. Diamond lattice windows capture treetops and shifting forest light throughout the day. With excellent sun exposure, the property is ideal for gardening — from vegetables and herbs to vibrant seasonal blooms. Inside, four fireplaces and original craftsmanship create a warm retreat after time on the trails.Upstairs, three bedrooms plus two flex rooms offer bright, inspiring spaces for work, hobbies, or guests. A large garage provides ample storage for adventure equipment, while the expansive basement — complete with an exterior entrance — includes a dedicated workshop, pantry, laundry, and potential for additional living space.Original stone walls, a bay window, and a sweeping staircase give the home timeless character. Choose between the private front patio’s neighborhood views or the covered back patio’s forest backdrop. This is more than a home — it’s an adventure launchpad with city amenities right at your fingertips. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10233912]
