Tucked away on a private drive off SW Garden Home Road, this charming home sits in one of Portland's best-kept secrets. Garden Home has a semi-rural feel that's rare this close to the city — think large lots, towering trees, and yes, your actual neighbor is a Christmas tree farm. Real country in the city!When you're ready to rejoin civilization, you're just blocks from Trader Joe's, Old Market Pub, and the Garden Home Rec Center, with Gabriel Park, the Fanno Creek Trail, and the shops and restaurants of Multnomah Village all within easy reach.Inside you'll find more space than you expect — 1,449 SF with a layout that just works. The formal living room makes a statement with vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and large windows that flood the room with natural light. The open kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, where modern appliances and hardwood floors in the entry, kitchen, and dining area give the home a warm, put-together feel. The deck off the family room is perfect for morning coffee with trees as your backdrop.The home has great curb appeal and solid bones — just needs carpet and paint to make it your own.
