    Organic urban farmstead on a rare 70’x227’ oversized private lot. This very special property is tucked in the heart of Portland’s urban farming community just East of Fernhill Park, and is one of many nearby farms, including The Side Yard & Simpson St. Farms. Truly a unique pocket in Portland - close to everything, but with a relaxed rural vibe & a community of loving, inclusive neighbors. The home offers a bright, open layout with plenty of natural light, original charm & flexible living areas, including a huge unfinished basement with separate outside entrance. Refinished hardwoods, fresh paint, a brick fireplace & wood burning insert, picture moldings, arched doorways, charming vintage tile & sought after circular layout. All 4 bedrooms are above grade with 2 on the main & 2 up. Many high value updates, including all new custom Anderson insulated windows throughout in the same style of the originals, new all-electric HVAC with heat pump, A/C & REM air purifying system, new 200amp electrical service & panel, new copper supply plumbing, new concrete driveway & paths, water irrigation system, electrical & supply plumbing to the full length of the yard, and recent roof. But the true highlight is outdoors: a massive, park-like yard with 22 years of cultivated rich organic soil, a diverse fruit, nut & herb forest & flowering perennial perimeter - this property is ideal for sustainable homesteading, urban farming, or simply enjoying the peace & privacy of your own garden retreat. Whether you’re dreaming of chickens, bees, fruit trees, or simply space to retreat and relax, this lot delivers. Outbuildings include a greenhouse/chapel/art studio, an oversized garage with attached potting shed/workshop, a wood fired sauna that fits 8, chicken coop & duck coop. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own one of the largest lots in the area and enjoy the perfect blend of city comfort & convenience with sweet country living - a lifestyle you won’t find anywhere else!
