MID-Century Retreat in Maplewood
Imagine waking up to birdsong and sunlight filtering through the trees in the heart of Maplewood, one of Portland’s most cherished neighborhoods. Just beyond your window, April Hill Park waits for morning walks, while Gabriel Park is only a few blocks away—offering endless green space, trails, and community. Maplewood Elementary is close enough for an easy morning stroll with the kids, or simply a sign that you’re living in a neighborhood that feels like home.
This mid-century modern gem is more than a house—it’s a quiet retreat that lets you stay close to everything while feeling worlds away. Step inside, and you're welcomed by the warmth of original hardwood floors and the timeless beauty of vaulted wood ceilings in the kitchen. It's easy to imagine cooking Sunday breakfast in a space that feels both fresh and rooted in character, thanks to the 2020 updates that blend clean lines and new appliances with enduring style.
Downstairs, the possibilities expand. Picture cozy winter evenings by the gas fireplace, or lazy Sundays in the sunroom with a book and a view of your own lush garden. With five bedrooms and flexible living areas, there’s space to grow, to create, to work from home—or even to dream up that ADU you've been thinking about.
And then there's the outdoors: over a third of an acre, designed by a master gardener and alive with color, texture, and calm. The living rooms open to the refinished deck upstairs and the refinished sunroom downstairs, where summer dinners stretch into the evening, shaded by trees and softened by garden scents. It's a space that invites you to slow down, connect, and savor.
With radiant heat, zoned climate control, and major system updates—including a new high-efficiency boiler, AC, and water main—this home offers peace of mind as well as peace and quiet.
This isn’t just a place to live. It’s where your next chapter unfolds—with nature at your doorstep, neighbors who feel like friends, and a home that’s ready to hold it all.
