7916 N EMERALD AVE

Rooted in the heart of Kenton sits a storybook bungalow with everything you've been hoping for. Morning begins upstairs in a loft like, light filled bedroom where the sun finds you first. Maybe you linger a little, then dip into the clawfoot tub in the ensuite bath while honey oak hardwoods below catch the light and warm the whole house with the quiet reminder that all is well.Maybe your work life lets you stay close to home, so you keep your slippers on and scooch out to the detached non-conforming ADU, complete with a skylight, French doors, Murphy bed, and its own full bathroom. It's the perfect place to focus, create, host guests, welcome extended family, or carve out a little life of your own just steps from the back door. Need a midday reset? Go for a jog along the neighborhood greenway, then come home and shower off in the ADU before easing back into the day.When Portland does what Portland does, the covered porch is waiting for you, ideal for a spicy bowl from An An while you listen to the rain help the garden grow. And then, just like that, the clouds part and the sun is back, calling you to the deck, the hammock, and the fully fenced backyard, cozy and secluded and ready for dogs, gatherings, or the easy pleasure of doing absolutely nothing at all.Life here extends beyond the gate. This street is a greenway with a slower pace, easy walkability, and neighbors who still know each other. New Seasons is close by, Columbia Park is nearby, and so is the local elementary school with a fenced area where neighbors often bring their dogs to run. Grab a coffee from A+ Coffee Company, a local favorite, stop into the beloved neighborhood art supply or pet shop, then come evening, head into downtown Kenton for dinner or a drink before wandering home to your cozy living room for a quiet end to the evening.Casual, real, easy. A home that lets you spread out, settle in, and live beautifully.
