About 505 S Dakota St

Perfectly balancing modern style with timeless comfort, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offers an easy, elevated lifestyle in one of Portland’s most desirable locations. From the moment you step inside, the warmth and light that fills this home. Original oak hardwood floors have been lovingly refinished. The fully remodeled kitchen is a true showstopper—custom solid wood cabinetry, gleaming Quartz countertops, designer tile, and high-end stainless steel appliances create a space that’s both functional and stunning. The updated bathroom continues the theme of thoughtful upgrades with modern fixtures and stylish tilework. Outside, the surprises continue. The covered carport effortlessly doubles as a sheltered patio, perfect for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or relaxing in the evening. A beautifully designed detached studio (approx 200 sf) in the backyard offers endless possibilities—a quiet home office, inspiring art studio, or a future guest retreat ready to welcome visitors. Every detail has been considered, making this home truly move-in ready—done, done, done. The location couldn’t be more ideal. Directly across from Terwilliger School and just two blocks from the Willamette River and Willamette Park, you'll enjoy easy access to nature, walking trails, and waterfront recreation. Incredible local dining is right around the corner—Chart House, Café Du Berry, Moonlight Grill, Elephants on Corbett, Saint Honoré Bakery, Jen’s Pastries—and don't miss the curated selections at Zupan’s Market for top-tier grocery and wine shopping. With quick access to the shops and charm of Sellwood, downtown Lake Oswego, and downtown Portland, you're never far from the best the city has to offer—while still enjoying a peaceful, residential vibe.
