Nestled at the end of a long private drive & hidden beneath a canopy of mature trees, this contemporary fixer offers a rare blend of privacy & opportunity on nearly half an acre in the Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood. If you've ever dreamed of creating your own wooded retreat, this is your chance to bring that vision to life. Surrounded by towering trees, birdsong and frequent wildlife visitors, the setting feels worlds away from the hustle of everyday life, while remaining conveniently close to parks, shopping, dining, transit & major commuter routes. The home's thoughtfully expanded layout offers surprising flexibility, with shared living spaces gathered at the heart of the home and bedroom/bathroom areas positioned on opposite sides. This creates comfortable separation for multi-generational living, guests, or potential rental possibilities. Generous room sizes and an efficient kitchen with cedar lined ceiling provide space for everyone. Upstairs, an unfinished vaulted primary suite awaits your finishing touches and features a slider to a private deck nestled among the trees. An additional bedroom, bonus room, open loft area & half bath prepped for a future shower addition create a palette for customization. Semi-finished basement offers workshop & generous storage. The expansive wooded grounds invite endless daydreams. Create gardens, winding pathways, outdoor entertaining spaces or simply enjoy the tranquility of your own private urban forest.

Just moments away, Powell Butte Nature Park provides miles of scenic trails, sweeping mountain views & endless opportunities for hiking, biking & connecting with nature.
