Tucked within a quiet, centrally located community, this beautifully updated end unit feels like a hidden oasis—where nature, comfort, and convenience meet. As the only unit in the building with a fully landscaped, wraparound patio and garden, this home offers a rare sense of privacy. Picture mornings with coffee among the greenery, afternoons reading in the sun, or evening dinners under the open sky. It’s a space that invites you to slow down and savor the moment, all just steps from your door.
Inside, fresh interior paint and modern touches—including a new bathroom vanity and energy-efficient double-pane windows—create a clean, move-in-ready backdrop for your life. The open floor plan flows easily from a spacious living area to a dining space that opens directly onto your private patio through sliding glass doors. Whether you’re hosting friends or enjoying a quiet night in, the layout is designed to make you feel at ease.
The kitchen connects effortlessly to the main living space, keeping you close to the action while still offering everything you need to cook, serve, and enjoy. Two generously sized bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, while a full utility room—complete with washer and dryer—adds everyday ease and function.
Storage is no afterthought here. You’ll find ample closet space throughout, along with a dedicated storage room and an assigned parking space. Plus, the well-managed community takes care of the details: water, sewer, trash, exterior maintenance, parking, visitor spaces, storage, and even access to a shared community room—all covered in the monthly dues.
When it comes to location, it’s hard to beat. Just minutes from OHSU, Lewis & Clark College, Barbur Blvd, I-5, and the vibrant charm of Multnomah Village and Downtown, you’ll find yourself surrounded by parks, trails, restaurants, and grocery stores. Whether you’re exploring local favorites or commuting with ease, this spot offers the best of Portland living.
Whether you’re searching for a peaceful place to call home or a smart, low-maintenance investment, this unique end unit is a rare find—offering space to grow, room to breathe, and a lifestyle that’s hard to match.

She/Her
Raised in the Pacific Northwest, Mel became a passionate advocate for homeownership and investing in real estate after buying and selling her first home. What drew her to it was realizing the significant financial impact the right investment property can make and learning how much having a home to truly call your own can improve your quality of life.
Her specialties are working with first-time home buyers and sellers yet she is fluent in all aspects of residential real estate. She is trained extensively in real estate negotiation, holding both the CNE (Certified Negotiation Expert) and RENE (Real Estate Negotiations Expert) designations. Mel knows that with all the technology available to buyers and sellers, one of the best skills a REALTOR® can have is knowing how to be a collaborative negotiator to get the best outcome for their clients.
After a decade-long career working in operations and client service for creative companies, Mel earned her Broker’s license and made the move to real estate. She listens to her client’s needs and aims to treat everyone involved in a transaction with honesty and integrity. She loves getting to know her clients, their wants, and needs to ensure they get the highest level of service Mel is known for.
Mel brings creativity and an eye for detail to the table with a background in art and events. She enjoys a remodel or renovation project, has a soft spot for old craftsman homes, loves helping first-time buyers, and educating her clients on the selling and purchasing process. She believes in staying up to date on market trends, technology, and tools available to real estate agents. This gives her an edge when it comes to marketing properties and communicating with her clients.
When Mel is not working in real estate she is volunteering with the Red Cross, gardening, hosting dinner parties, or relaxing at home on Bull Mountain with her husband, son, two big dogs, and a handful of chickens.
