A Cottage That Became Something More.
Tucked onto a quiet street, Reed is a special pocket neighborhood that rarely has listings, especially ones that have been owned for 30 years. This one started as a modest 900 square foot cottage in 1951 and was substantially expanded and renovated in 2004, resulting in 2,565 finished square feet that feel cohesive and light-filled throughout. The pink exterior has been part of the streetscape for five years now and has earned its place. Four bedrooms, three full baths, and a floor plan that works for real life.

The Heart of the Main Floor
The main living area is open without feeling like a renovation trend. A 2004 gas fireplace with brick surround and wood mantel anchors the living room, which flows into the dining area and kitchen beyond. Oak hardwoods run throughout, and a wall of windows along the back of the house pulls the backyard green directly into the room. From the street this house reads as a modest cottage. Once inside, the layout starts to reveal itself and expand in ways that keep surprising you.
Take a Walk Through
Step inside and see how this Reed neighborhood cottage grew into something more. The video gives you a feel for the floor plan, the light, and the spaces that are hard to capture in photos alone.
A Kitchen Worth Spending Time In.
White shaker cabinets with glass uppers, concrete countertops, a farmhouse sink looking out onto the backyard, and a gas range with hood. The butcher block island gives you a dedicated prep surface without taking over the room. Globe pendants keep the light warm and focused. A walk-in pantry behind the screened door adds the kind of storage that makes a kitchen actually functional. This is a kitchen that was thought through.
Explore the Floor Plan
This home's layout is easier to understand when you can move through it yourself. The interactive floor plan lets you click room by room, see measurements, and get a real sense of how the spaces connect -- from the main living areas to the back patio.
Two Bedrooms, Two Baths, Main Floor
The primary suite has a walk-in closet with built-in shelving and a full ensuite bath with custom tiled walk-in shower, a mid-century vanity with vessel sink, towel warmer, and heated floor.. The second main floor bedroom gets good natural light and sits steps from the hall bath, which has a mounted sink, tub and shower combo, and the same black fixture detail carried through.
Both main floor bedrooms have oak hardwoods. Having two bedrooms and two full baths on the main floor gives the house flexibility that works for a lot of different living situations, whether that's a guest room, a home office that doubles as sleeping space, or single floor living.
The Whole Second Floor Surprises
The family room at the top of the stairs has a vaulted ceiling, a triangular window grouping that looks directly into a wall of treescape, and enough space to function as a second living room, a media room, or whatever the household needs. New carpet throughout. Two bedrooms flank it on either side, each approximately 13 by 28 feet with walk-in closets and arched niche details from the 2004 renovation. Under-eave storage is accessible through the bedroom closets, with full-size doors on one end connecting both rooms with additional storage space.
The full upstairs bath has a laminate countertop vanity, tub and shower combo, and sits between both bedrooms. It's a floor that works hard without feeling crowded.
The Spaces That Make It Work
The entry foyer sets the tone with the arched beam detail and staircase before opening into the main living area. A dedicated home office with a door and natural light sits off the main floor, usable as a quiet workspace without giving up a bedroom. The laundry room has upper cabinetry, a hair washing sink, updated butcher block counter, and full size washer and dryer. Central vacuum runs throughout the entire house.
The attached garage has a concrete floor, utility storage, and direct access into the home. It's the kind of infrastructure that makes daily life quieter and easier without calling attention to itself.
Private Back, Neighborly Front
The backyard is fully fenced and green, with mature trees along the perimeter that create genuine privacy without a lot of maintenance. A stamped concrete patio sits off the French door from the dining room, leading out to a half circle of lawn, gravel paths, and space for gardening. At 5,550 square feet the lot is well proportioned and the tree canopy does the work of making it feel larger than it measures.
Out front the covered porch faces a quiet Reed street with the magnolia overhead and the stone bubbler adding ambient sound. It's the kind of porch that gets used. This house gives you a choice most lots don't: head to the back when you want privacy, or settle into the front when you want to watch the neighborhood go by.
The Reed Neighborhood
Reed is one of those Portland neighborhoods that doesn't announce itself. It sits quietly between Woodstock and Eastmoreland, tree-covered and residential, with Reed College as its anchor and an unhurried pace that longtime residents tend to protect. Homes here stay in families for decades, which is part of why this one matters. When something comes to market in Reed it gets attention from people who have been waiting.
The Reed Canyon is a 28-acre watershed running through the heart of campus with walking trails, Reed Lake, and a restored ecosystem that draws otters, beavers, kingfishers, and eagles. The trail connects directly to the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden next door, making it one of the better urban nature walks in the city. Most people who do it can't believe they're in the middle of Portland.
Day to day everything you need is close. Woodstock Boulevard is minutes away with Trader Joe's, coffee shops, bars, and restaurants that draw people from across SE Portland. Walgreens and transit are within easy reach. The neighborhood itself stays quiet. That combination is harder to find than it sounds.
