Tucked into the leafy hush of Tigard’s storied Derry Dell neighborhood, this 1949 single-level is a rare find — one of the pocket’s original homes, predating the ranch-style wave that later defined the area, now paired with an unexpected flourish: a solar-powered pool set on a sprawling lot.Three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths anchor a layout built for effortless single-level living, while the grounds invite the kind of outdoor entertaining that’s become the neighborhood’s quiet signature — sun-fed and low-impact, the pool lets you swim without the guilt of the utility bill. Mature trees and natural landscaping frame it all, evoking mornings that begin poolside and evenings that unwind beneath the same canopy that has shaded this address for three-quarters of a century.Derry Dell itself is the draw as much as the house: a short stroll delivers you to the Pathfinder-Genesis Trail, winding past Dell Creek’s restored wetlands toward Woodard Park, while Pacific Highway’s shops and cafés — and the beloved Broadway Rose Theatre Company — sit just minutes away. Families are drawn to the Tigard-Tualatin school district’s International Baccalaureate offerings at Tigard High, and commuters appreciate an easy run to I-5 and downtown Portland, just 12 miles north.
