OPEN APPLICATION PERIOD: This home is located in the City of Portland and will begin accepting applications no earlier than 12/08/2025.

PROPERTY INFO: Welcome to this thoughtfully designed all-electric eco-3BR/1BA home in the heart of Kenton.... Filled with warmth, natural light, and modern efficiency upgrades, this property blends classic Portland charm with sustainable living at its best.

A large front porch welcomes you inside, while the private driveway, covered carport, and EV charger make daily life convenient. The spacious covered back deck overlooks a Backyard Habitat Certified Platinum garden complete with fruit trees, berry bushes, raised garden beds, and winding paths that bloom throughout the year. Gardeners and nature lovers will feel right at home, and the Kenton Community Garden is just a few blocks away if you ever want more space to grow.

Inside, the home features eco-friendly, easy-to-clean finishes including marmoleum, hardwood floors, solid stone surfaces, and low-VOC paint. High-end, energy-efficient appliances — including a Café induction stove — pair with an ERV ventilation system, heat pump, and tight thermal envelope to keep the home comfortable and environmentally conscious. Daylighting is excellent throughout, with solar tubes bringing additional natural light into the bathroom and the converted garage studio.

The layout maximizes space with thoughtful storage everywhere you look, including double medicine cabinets in the bathroom, a pull-out pantry, and additional shelving in the kitchen. The insulated garage studio offers a perfect space for creative work or a quiet work-from-home setup, and the home is wired with Ethernet for easy tech connectivity (just bring your router).

NEIGHBORHOOD: Located in one of North Portland’s most vibrant neighborhoods, this home offers quick access to bus lines 35 and 4, bike routes, and the MAX station just half a mile away. Downtown Portland and Vancouver are both within five miles. Kenton Park, Trenton Park, and the Kenton Community Garden are all nearby, and downtown Kenton is just a short walk away with favorites like Swift & Union, Pizza Fino, Po’Shines, and the Kenton Club.
