6227 NE 45th Ave, Portland, OR 97218

Situated on a third of an acre just blocks from Fernhill Park , this unique property offers an incredible variety of outdoor spaces along with a lovely 2-bedroom home, two detatched studio buildings and a detached storage shed. This property was at one time part of a large farming community and has well established shrubs and bushes alongside heirloom fruit trees dating back over 100 years. The current owners acquired the property in 2004 and immediately teamed up with Portland landscape artist Erich Petschke who is well known for his work designing gardens and landscapes for the McMenamin Brothers hotel properties. Erich worked with the owners to modernize the plantings adding many of his favorites including Midwinter Fire, Beaty Berry, and Lipstick Salvia. They also added to the home’s fruit bounty by planting three strawberry varietals that will in succession yield strawberries all summer long. The spacious front porch offers unique wooden seating and great relaxing views of the private front yard. The backyard patio is the perfect setting for outdoor parties and offers a unique park-like setting in the city.
