9560 N IVANHOE ST

St. Johns green gem — thoughtfully updated, Permaculture-designed, and full of possibility. This well-maintained home sits on a quiet street, offering the sought-after balance of vibrant urban energy and quiet, grounded home life. Just blocks from the thriving St. Johns village — beloved shops, cafés, and community spirit — yet surrounded by gardens and nature. The flexible floor plan and oversized lot give you room to grow. The rear of the home is a standout: a spacious suite with a separate entrance that works beautifully as a primary bedroom, home office, yoga studio, or guest space — and with slight modification, it could become a full ADU. Rental income, multi-gen living, or a private retreat: the possibilities are real. The land itself is something special. Designed with Permaculture principles: espaliered fruit trees, native and edible plantings, permeable pathways, and inviting outdoor zones. A live-edge cedar slab dining nook anchors the main living space; a passively-lit outbuilding of reclaimed materials adds charm and function. Fully fenced backyard. FIVE parks within easy reach: Pier Park — pool, disc golf, skate park, trails, off-leash dog area. St. Johns Park and Community Center offer a wide range of Portland Parks and Recreation resources and activities. Baltimore Woods has a community-led vision for a nature corridor connecting Kelly Point all the way to Downtown PDX. Cathedral Park, under the iconic St. Johns Bridge, is one of the most photogenic places in the city, and hosts recreation and cultural events on the waterfront. And last but not least, Forest Park's 5,200 acres and 80+ miles of trail can be accessed just 1.3 miles from your front door. If sustainability, flexibility, and a thriving neighborhood are on your list — this is your home. Walk Score 77 · Bike Score 94 · Home Energy Score: 8 [Home Energy Score = 8.
