The story of this home
Lovingly remodeled, this five-bedroom, four-bathroom home offers an unusual combination of space, flexibility, privacy, and outdoor living, with convenient access to both downtown Portland and Beaverton via Highway 26. The generous floor plan provides plenty of room for everyday living, guests, home offices, or multigenerational living. Additional bonus space sits just outside the main home and is connected by a covered walkway, creating separation without sacrificing convenience. Equipped with a gas fireplace, it is ideal for a private home office, creative studio, gym, game room, workshop, or flexible space that can evolve with the next owner's needs.A 14x12 playhouse doubles as a second exterior office with power, ready for remote work, a studio, or extra storage. The property is fully fenced with an electric gate at the driveway, adding an extra layer of privacy and security. Outside, the flat backyard feels private and expansive, with plenty of room to relax, play, garden, and entertain. The pool, featuring solar hot water, and the cabana create a natural gathering place for summer afternoons, dinners with friends, and larger celebrations. Supported by 70% solar coverage, the main 0.42-acre grounds balance privacy with entertaining capacity. The purchase includes two legally established tax lots totaling 0.67 acres. A separate, buildable 0.25-acre lot provides substantial long-term options for expansion, resale, or investment. It is a rare functional combination of updated living space, private grounds, and distinct real estate potential.

Dimensions approximate. Buyer to verify.
Fifty-Seventh Avenue sits in Sylvan-Highlands, a small wooded neighborhood platted in 1850 by a pioneer who hoped it would become Oregon's capital, then renamed for Silvanus, the Roman god of the forest. The name still fits. The neighborhood shares a boundary with Washington Park and the 232-acre Hoyt Arboretum, so the zoo, the Japanese Garden, and the Rose Test Garden read as extensions of the backyard, while Highway 26 puts downtown minutes away. Trees first, city close behind: that is the whole proposition, and this house is built to it.
