9810 SW 55th Ave, Portland

Tucked behind towering evergreens on a rare quarter acre in SW Portland, this painted brick ranch comes with a detached ADU that’s ready for multigenerational living or around $1,600 a month in rental income. The show stopping front yard feels like your own private park, with a lush lawn and mature trees that put on a real show in the fall. A private drive with plenty of parking runs alongside the house and leads back to a garden with raised beds and a courtyard setting made for slow mornings and long summer evenings.The main house has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths with warm oak floors and a sunny, expansive living room where a big bay window and a gas fireplace set the tone. There’s a sweet dining nook just off the cottage-style kitchen, which has stainless appliances, gas cooking and a charming Dutch door. A spacious laundry room and brand new A/C round out the main home. Above the garage you’ll find a 1 bed, 1 bath ADU that has bamboo floors, a full kitchen, its own washer and dryer, a mini split for year-round comfort and a private 2nd story deck to call its own. With this much room to spread out, garden and gather, it’s an easy place to picture the next chapter of your life. [Home Energy Score = 4.
