Come get your little slice of SE paradise in this single level ranch retreat with big backyard vibes! A perfect living room welcomes you home with original oak hardwoods and a sunny south-facing window with a deep window sill that you can pack with many happy plants. The eat-in kitchen is cute as a button and situated between the living room and den to make socializing while cooking easy and fun! There’s even a handy pantry with built in shelving and sweet updates like brand new butcher block countertops, a brand new range and sink and a fresh coat of paint on the cabinets. Two sweet bedrooms with refinished oak hardwood floors, large closets with mirrored sliding doors and oversized windows looking out on the peaceful back yard. A bathroom remodel in 2021 added new flooring, lighting, tub and surround, vanity, toilet and shower head - and don’t miss the built-in storage bonanza in the hallway! There’s plenty of room for extra toiletries, linens, cleaning supplies and a good ol’ fashioned junk drawer with room to spare. On the other side of the kitchen sits a cozy sunken den with a wood burning stove and brick hearth to take the edge off chilly winter nights, plus a dedicated laundry room. An oversized garage is ready to help you dive into your hobbies and the sunny yard is fully fenced for pets and play, with an established lawn, raised beds and plenty of space left over to make it your own and add to the list of mature plants, including maple trees, native plants like sword ferns, flowering red currant, snowberry and more. Tucked away on a quiet street, walk to beautiful Ventura Park, the East Portland Community Center, La Osita, Sister’s Ethiopian and more! Just a hop, skip and a jump away from Mt Tabor, Montavilla and all the fun in SE Portland. Welcome home! [Home Energy Score = 3. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10237000]
