Coming soon to the Portland market.

Single-level, mid-century living in the middle of Irvington. Surrounded by the grand, old turn-of-the-century homes of Irvington is a 1955 mid-century modern ranch.

This 3 bedroom, 2+ bath Mid-Century Modern home is one of the few mid-century ranch homes in the Irvington neighborhood, and one of the few Irvington homes with single-level living.

Your new home is located in one of Portland’s best neighborhoods…..and just a short walk from Whole Foods, Irving Park, the Broadway district, Saint Simon Coffee, Starbucks, Cafe Destino, Garden Fever, Guilder Coffee, Lucca, the Backyard Bird Shop, FreeHouse Pub, Peets Coffee, Steeplechase Brew Pub, Great Wine Buys, Broadway Books, Helen Bernhard Bakery, Twisted Croissant and Patisserie, Speilman’s Bagels, Rose and Thistle, Safeway, Irvington Elementary, Madeleine Catholic School, and a dozen other small businesses. The new Grant High School campus is less than a mile away.

The main level entrance hall opens to an open-plan kitchen/dining area (remodeled in 2014) and living room with the original fireplace. The kitchen features a SubZero refrigerator, Thermador oven, and Vikng stovetop. There are 3 bedrooms and a large newly remodeled bathroom. The primary bedroom has a separate ensuite half-bath.

The decks on the front and back extend the main-floor living space….a level connection to the outdoors. The outdoor spaces were designed for minimal upkeep. The easy-care backyard is perfect for the efficient gardener- 5 raised garden beds, espaliered apple trees (5 varieties!), a pear tree (loaded with early fruit this year), a raspberry patch, chesterberry, strawberry, and banana trees! The grass patch can be mowed with a weed-eater in less than 10 minutes!

In the basement is a large laundry room area awaits your finishing touch. There is a toilet and sink just off the laundry area. A large bonus, pine-paneled room is perfect as an entertainment room, guest room, studio, or teen den. It even has its own fireplace! The garage door leads into an large, open garage/shop/studio area measuring 15′ x 48’….more than enough room for a small electric car and a shop/studio area.

The main level is 1499 square feet, and the basement level is 1403 square feet.

The house is heated by a ductless, hydronic, radiant floor system…what a treat to walk on warm floors on a chilly morning. The walls and ceiling are insulated. The oil tank was removed in 2013.

The roof was replaced in 2023 and the house was painted in 2026.
