About This Home
Three distinct living spaces. One unforgettable property. Tucked above Reed Canyon on a quiet dead end street, the Reed Canyon Retreat delivers something Portland rarely sees: West Hills privacy and elevation with East Side walkability. The property lives like a private retreat. A beautifully updated 1923 Craftsman main house, a newly built two bedroom ADU above the garage and a detached studio with full bathroom all surround a private pool, flat grassy yard, elevated fire pit lounge and multiple outdoor gathering spaces wrapped in mature privacy hedges. Step through the back gate and you are immediately on the Reed Canyon trail system. The 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom main house unfolds across three finished levels with thoughtful updates and incredible indoor outdoor flow. French doors from the living room, dining room and kitchen all open directly to the deck & patio. The beautifully updated kitchen anchors the home with a large island, high-end appliances and a sink perfectly positioned for sunset views. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace and six floor-to-ceiling windows for maximum natural light. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a fireplace, private deck and a huge walk-in closet. Downstairs, the daylight lower level offers a family room with projector and climbing wall, kitchenette, full bathroom and mudroom with direct pool access. Built in 2023, the detached studio is ideal for guests, office space or extended stays with high ceilings and French doors for seamless indoor outdoor living. Above the garage, the ADU lives like a true standalone home with two bedrooms, full kitchen, skylight and private gated access. Updates include brand new roof on main house, Marvin clad wood windows, updated plumbing, electric & HVAC. Rarely does a property offer this level of flexibility, privacy and income potential while still feeling warm, connected and genuinely special. A true Portland compound designed to evolve with the people lucky enough to call it home.
