Lovingly maintained and full of charm, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath midcentury bungalow is a sweet retreat on a generous 0.36 acre lot. Fresh interior paint gives the home a clean, welcoming feel, while thoughtful updates over the years make it move-in ready.
Inside, you’ll find large living room windows that bring in tons of natural light and overlook the spacious back patio and yard, perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding. The refreshed kitchen features a glass-top electric stove, a newer refrigerator, and plenty of storage for all your essentials.
Updated light fixtures and new paint throughout add a bright touch, and durable laminate flooring plus double-paned vinyl windows keep things cozy year-round. There’s even A/C to keep you cool in the summer! One of the bedrooms has been converted into a laundry/office space with washer and dryer included but can easily be turned back into a third bedroom if needed.
Outside, the oversized detached garage offers space for hobbies, storage, or parking. The backyard is your own private hideaway – wooded, serene, and full of potential with mature trees, a partially sloped lawn, and a big patio perfect for hosting.
Tucked into a quiet stretch of McLoughlin Blvd in the central Harney Heights neighborhood, you’ll be minutes from downtown Vancouver and all the shopping and restaurants along the Waterfront, as well as Clark College, several schools, and easy freeway access.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking for your next cozy place to call home, this bungalow is full of possibilities.

Hi, I’m Rachel, your guide to finding the perfect nest in the Pacific Northwest!
Before I was helping clients build equity, I was building worlds. Literally. I started my career as a prop maker for film and theatre, building everything from stop-motion miniatures to wacky props for Portlandia. That experience sharpened my eye for design, construction, and creative problem-solving- skills I now use to help my clients see the hidden potential (or pitfalls) in every home. Buying or selling a home should feel empowering, not overwhelming. I strive to give buyers and sellers the knowledge and resources they need to navigate the market with confidence. Whether strategizing winning offers or negotiating repairs, I bring a hands-on, detail-oriented approach to every transaction. Clients turn to me for my honest advice and "get it done" attitude. I’m not just here to sell homes- I’m here to help my clients make smart, strategic decisions that set them up for success. My own journey into homeownership started while making $20/hour at a nonprofit theater. Through creative lending solutions, I was able to buy my first home and give my senior dog the yard of her dreams. Friends began turning to me for guidance and I became their unofficial home-buying consultant. Years later, I’m still driven by the desire to make an impact in my community and help others achieve financial stability through homeownership, since I've seen the benefits firsthand. I especially love working with first-time buyers, single folks, and creatives to find affordable ways to break into the market. My love affair with Portland has spanned nearly two decades and I know this city inside and out- from the quirks of its historic homes to the best coffee spots in every neighborhood. I’m constantly in awe of all the fabulous architecture and nature which surrounds us. Whether climbing at local gyms, biking on Pedalpalooza rides, paddling the Willamette, or volunteering at the tool library, I stay deeply engaged in my community and love connecting my clients to local gems. If you’re looking for a real estate partner who will advocate for you, educate you, and make the process as smooth (and fun!) as possible, let’s connect!- T: 503-810-4490
