Our modern, one-story home is tucked into a quiet corner of a quiet, walkable neighborhood. Warm and inviting, its open concept family room / kitchen / dining area has a gas fireplace and opens onto a covered backyard deck. The living room has comfortable seating, perfect for reading or movie-watching, and a piano.
Our location, in a residential area of suburban Tigard, has easy freeway access and is 15 minutes to downtown Portland by car. We're also close to mass transit and walking and bicycle paths.
Cook Park, 1.5 miles to the south, offers walking/jogging/bicycle trails, a butterfly garden, Tualatin River access, picnic areas, and more. Tigard's Main Street, 1.5 miles to the north, has a variety of shops, restaurants, pubs, a great coffee shop, and regular farmers' markets. Another coffee shop, a great pizzeria, and one of Oregon's famous McMenamins pubs are even closer.
Portland is a fun and vibrant city with lots to do for people who love food and drink, the arts and entertainment scene, and/or the outdoors.
For those looking for outdoor adventure, Mt. Hood, Oregon's highest peak at 11,250', offers summer hiking and mountain biking as well as winter skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing. It's just about an hour's drive east of our house. The gorgeous Oregon Coast is less than a two hour drive away as well.
