8509 N Newman Ave Portland, OR 97203

A really sweet North Portland ranch with a floor plan that just works.Step inside and you’re greeted by a living room with one of the home’s best details: a cool brick fireplace that separates the living room from the dining room while keeping the two spaces connected. From there, the kitchen and dining area open up to each other, creating a layout that feels both spacious and practical.Just off the dining room is a flexible bonus space with built-in cabinets and direct access to the backyard. It could be a home office, playroom, workout space, or simply a place to spread out. Down the hall are three bedrooms and a full bathroom, with a convenient half bath tucked into the primary bedroom.The house has been freshly refreshed with new interior paint and new lighting throughout, giving the whole home a clean, bright feel while still feeling like a classic 1960 ranch. And because it’s all on one level, the layout is wonderfully easy to live in.The backyard is a standout, too. There’s plenty of room to garden, play, entertain, or let the dog run around, plus a pergola that’s ready for long summer evenings and a shed for all the things you’d rather not keep in the house. The attached garage adds even more everyday convenience.And with Columbia Park just a short walk away, you get a great neighborhood amenity right outside your door.Easy, comfortable, and thoughtfully refreshed, this is the kind of house that feels good to come home to.
