About the property

Mid‑Century Ranch with Kurisu Gardens — Walk to Downtown Lake Oswego

This single-level mid‑century ranch, refreshed and move‑in ready, sits at the peaceful end of Northshore Place — mere blocks from downtown Lake Oswego and Millennium Plaza Park. Enter a light-filled great room defined by vaulted ceilings and a warm brick fireplace, where large triple-pane windows and sliding doors lead to three composite decks with cable railings. The decks, oriented to capture southern and western exposures, extend living outdoors and deliver flexible entertaining options.

The kitchen is practical and purposeful with solid butcher block countertops, a pantry, and quality appliances including a convection oven and freestanding refrigerator. Three bedrooms and two full baths are arranged for ease of daily life, and newer flooring and carpet make the home turnkey. Comfort systems include a ductless HVAC heat-pump-ready system plus individual cadet heaters for room-by-room control.

Outdoors, the property distinguishes itself with a Japanese-inspired dry pond and winding garden paths designed by Kurisu Gardens — creating a curated, private landscape uncommon so close to downtown. The lot is level, treed for privacy, and situated on a quiet stretch shared by only a few homes.

Practical storage and hobby capacity are addressed by an oversized 22' x 29' garage, ideal for a workshop, gear storage, or creative projects. Optional access to three Lake Oswego lake easements (North Lake Club, South View Club, Lakewood Yacht Club) is available — inquire with the Lake Corporation about membership and access details.

If you want the convenience of walkability to restaurants, cafes, and lakefront parks combined with an exceptional garden and usable garage space, this home is an outstanding match. Seller is a licensed Oregon broker. Buyer to verify all facts including lake membership and school assignments.

Editorial market perspective

Lake Oswego remains one of the Portland metro’s strongest suburban markets: limited inventory, premium buyer demand for downtown and lake-adjacent homes, and higher-than-average price per square foot. Median single-family sale prices in Lake Oswego traditionally sit above the broader metro area, and homes that are turnkey and well-located sell quickly. Expect competitive interest from owner-occupiers and buyers seeking proximity to top-rated schools. Given the property’s walkability, curated landscaping, and oversized garage, pricing at $1,145,000 aligns with recent transactions for renovated mid‑century homes in the Northshore/downtown pocket. Recommended next steps for buyers: secure a local agent to run a current comp search and confirm lake access/dues and school assignment.
