9945 N Lombard St

Mid-century ranch with big spaces, a creative soul, and a backyard made for living. Located just minutes from the iconic St. Johns Bridge and the shops, restaurants, and community energy of downtown St. Johns, this 1955 ranch delivers more square footage, more character, and more versatility than anything else at this price point. The garage is accessed from the alley providing off-street parking and storage. Inside, original hardwood floors run through the bedrooms and living areas, complemented by new LVP in the kitchen and the massive rear great room. The updated kitchen features new countertops, a painted brick backsplash, full stainless appliance suite including dishwasher, and abundant original cabinetry with modern hardware. The full bathroom has been fully renovated with large-format subway tile, a built-in shower niche, handheld showerhead, and a modern floating vanity — and a permitted half bath with stacked Samsung laundry adds everyday practicality. The big-ticket items are already done too: new roof (2021), upgraded electrical panel and service (2021), and both bathrooms gutted to the studs with new water lines (2025) — so you can move in and enjoy rather than wonder what's next.The 19×27 great room is the home's crown jewel — wood-paneled walls, track lighting, a ceiling fan, and a slider that opens directly to the backyard. Whether it becomes a second living room, a home studio, a gym, or an entertainer's haven, the space will adapt to whatever you bring to it. Out back, the sellers have created something special: a covered pergola with string lights and patio dining, a dedicated garden zone with galvanized steel raised beds, a lawn area, a storage shed, and a fully fenced perimeter. The alley-accessed garage keeps your car off the street and your life oriented toward this private, functional outdoor space. This is a home with room to live, create, and grow — in one of Portland's most authentic and walkable neighborhoods. [Home Energy Score = 2.
