Maplewood Neighborhood feels wonderfully tucked away, with quiet streets, towering trees, and rural charm —yet downtown Portland is just 10 minutes away with no west-side bridges to cross. Perched on a corner lot, 5232 SW is an artsy bungalow filled with picture windows, skylights, blond hardwoods, period baths and soulful old-house charm. Nothing about her feels cookie-cutter. The main floor offers a bedroom with adjacent slipper-tub, while upstairs features a vaulted primary with generous closet space and backyard canopy of mature trees. The beautifully tiled bathroom is just adjacent to the primary w/a second small bedroom perfect for a kids room/office next door. The kitchen is bright thanks to a skylight & door. Plus there is easy-access through the kitchen to the fenced backyard and garden. Many windows are double-paned fir w/screens and the 2017 gas furnace includes A/C. Downstairs, accessible through French doors at the front exterior, is a guest space that includes only one step. Complete with kitchen, bedroom, bath with walk-in shower plus laundry/storage this space was completed in 2022. Extensive work done by company Terra Firma to keep the space cozy & dry. Outside, you can choose your favorite perch: the backyard deck or covered front yard gazebo made for rainy-day musings. The whimsical “Camp Shack,” part locomotive/part Amsterdam houseboat, may be purchased separately. Its a dreamy retreat for returning college kids, creatives, or guests. Life in this hood comes with hidden “snicket” paths, Little Free Libraries, winding roads, blue picket fences, and the beloved Maplewood Coffee & Tea just blocks away. Nearby favorites like Gabriel Park, the Southwest Community Center, Garden Home Recreation Center, and Fanno Creek Trail add recreation, livability, and small-town warmth. This is a special home with soul & flexibility. It has provided years of comfort and peaceful respite to the artist who calls it home. OPEN CANCELED ON Saturday 6/6 [Home Energy Score = 1.
