This is a unique opportunity to own a half-acre property, minutes from downtown while still enjoying the tax benefits of a home in Washington County. The property also offers noteworthy investment potential, including the possibility of dividing the lot, an option many neighboring properties have successfully pursued (buyer to verify). This exceptional home in the coveted West Slope/Raleigh Hills area offers the perfect balance of privacy, charm, and convenience. This traditional-style home feels like a private retreat while remaining close to everything. Inside, the main level welcomes you with hardwood floors, a custom kitchen, and a warm, inviting living room with built-ins.The unfinished basement adds exciting flexibility and future value, with a usable bathroom already in place and plumbing ready for an additional full bath, ideal for a potential ADU or expanded living space (buyer to verify). A spacious detached office or flex space provides the perfect work-from-home setup, hobby area, or studio, all with peaceful views of the backyard. Outside, the grounds are equally compelling: the expansive yard is made for entertaining and unwinding, with Trex decking, a gazebo, and a hot tub, all surrounded by mature landscaping that enhances the home’s private, retreat-like feel.Adding to the appeal, the home benefits from Washington County property taxes—significantly lower than comparable homes just across the border in Multnomah County—creating meaningful savings without sacrificing proximity or lifestyle.With an updated HVAC system (2023), a serene setting, and outstanding proximity to Portland’s best amenities, this is a truly special opportunity to enjoy space, savings, and long-term upside in one of the area’s most desirable locations.
