My home is a 3-bedroom tri-level home with a large deck overlooking a series of backyard ponds. The decks are mahogany and lead down from the top level which is off the kitchen, to the yards and gardens below.

It has a large well-equipped gourmet kitchen with double ovens and all new appliances. The kitchen includes a dinette area that seats 4.

The living room has a 14 foot vaulted, beamed ceiling with large windows on the southern exposure. This is a very spacious living area with a large dining area adjoining the living room. There are two full baths one with a bath and shower, and one with a vanity area and separate stool and shower area. This one is off a master suite that has vaulted ceilings and large windows. It is very conducive to a good night's rest. The beds are new with good mattresses.

There is a full laundry room and family room on the lower level. Both the family room and living room have wood burning fireplaces. The family room includes a home theater. WiFi installed with signal that extends to gardens and yard.

There is a two-car garage.

Gresham is a suburb of Portland Oregon. The home is located on a dead-end street that is quiet and secluded. Our neighbors take care of each other and pay attention to our quality of life. We are in a residential neighborhood conducive to long walks. You are a short drive away from restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping centers. It is a very secure and safe environment. We are within a 90 minute drive of the Oregon Coast and are 30 minutes from Mt. Hood. Multnomah Falls and the beautiful Columbia River Gorge are just minutes away.
