15139 NE SUMMERPLACE Dr, Portland, OR 97230

Come home to a garden that puts on a show twice a year. A flowering Kwanzan Japanese cherry blankets the backyard in pink petals each spring, then turns coral and gold in autumn. The primary bedroom looks straight out at it, along with two rhododendrons.

Japanese maples and a third rhododendron round out front and back yards full of color. Bradford pear trees line the street, so the north windows frame blossoms in spring and fiery leaves in fall. Ducklings have even been known to waddle through the yard.This single-level 2-bed, 2-bath sits on the quiet side of Summerplace, far from the highway and main roads, and faces the clubhouse green.

South-facing windows fill the open living area with light, and the vaulted ceilings and fireplace add warmth. The formal dining room looks out on a Japanese maple and opens to the covered patio. The kitchen has an island, plenty of storage, and its own slider to the low-maintenance lava-rock yard.

The primary suite has a walk-in closet and walk-in shower, and there's a 2-car garage. The main living areas have fresh paint.Summerplace is a warm, active 55+ community with a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, walking paths with mountain views, and a lively clubhouse. Glendoveer Golf Course is half a mile away, Level Brewing is two miles, and a 20 minute drive to Columbia Gorge hiking trails. [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report
