About this property
CIty Forest Retreat
Close to city...but not too close. Relax in the comfort of a fully renovated "rear windows" apartment, overlooking towering cedars and Douglas firs. Birdwatching, urban hiking and easy access in all directions. Close to highest viewpoint in Portland. Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space. During colder months, enjoy remote controlled gas fireplace while you read or binge watch your favorite shows in the living room.
