Outdoor Oasis

Welcome to one of the city's most expansive yards, where your neighbor might just be a stunning, century-old tree! Imagine unwinding on the deck in the back corner of your private garden, enjoying outdoor meals on warm summer evenings, or hosting intimate gatherings beneath the towering branches of ancient trees. This serene retreat invites you to embrace nature in all its beauty.

Portland’s established sequoias and redwoods are perfectly suited to the city's climate, helping to store carbon and filter pollutants—nature’s way of keeping things fresh.

Next to this remarkable home lies a vacant lot brimming with potential. Surrounded by 60+ year-old rhododendrons and a stately Japanese maple, this space feels like a hidden wonderland. A small pond, waiting to be restored, features a stone bridge inviting you to cross—adding an extra layer of tranquility to the landscape.

This lot offers endless possibilities: build an art studio, create a cozy rental, set up a peaceful home office, or even develop a multi-family residence. It’s not just land; it’s a blank canvas to craft your vision while preserving the charm of the natural world around you.

This unique space strikes the perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility, making it an exceptional investment in both your lifestyle and future. Let your imagination run wild with the potential to create something extraordinary in this tranquil environment.

Poetry written for the home -

deep amid a passion of trees

complete, like orchids

it is engagement and continuing

circles of the home walk to a beginning 

light in the doorway echoes later days

by ways of the glass 

we have means of holding the view

a world of bird symphonies remains

inside, in the watch of lamps

the home reveals a roam of open floors

in here beside us, our essence and stare

like pastries or lilacs, spring and sweet

here you know you are held

hope into here

a hand that had home written on its fingers

a walking sun fills here

the rounded wooden door holds the wreath

announcing the season with bow and leaf

you have water stories and wish

let the birds and boards guide your way

being here is laying back in star light

let angles ease curves 

consume rest, take nest

you have until you take a place

put a foot in dirt, eye in sky

windows gather

and arms beyond

a constant rose gem wanting to hold you
