This sweet cottage staked its claim in SW Portland back in 1920 - and has never looked better! The inviting front deck and cheerfully colored front door set the tone as you enter into the spacious living room, while triple pane windows provide enhanced energy efficiency and sound insulation from the outside world. Uncommon for its time, the house has 9' ceiling heights throughout expanding on its open feel, 2 generously sized bedrooms, a kitchen pantry, separate laundry room and plenty of parking + storage space for your toys and Rec vehicles in the attached garage, long driveway and shed. The heart of the home - the kitchen - has been updated with newer appliances, cabinets & countertops. Further improvements include Hardie Plank siding, a newer roof, water heater, gas furnace, central A/C ensuring your comfort year-round and solid foundation w/ professionally installed steel posts (including 20-yr warranty!). There's much to appreciate inside, yet the fully fenced backyard and new concrete patio may become your favorite hangout this summer. With southern sun exposure the various flowers, plants, fruit trees & bushes (blueberry, plum, cherry, etc) are thriving! There are also raised and in-ground garden beds for growing your own herbs & veggies. And when it's time to head out - whether for a grocery run, a hike in Tryon Creek State Park, coffee and a stroll through Multnomah Village, picking up dinner at Momiji Sushi or commuting downtown - convenience to all of it is at your fingertips! With a freshly painted interior & exterior, all that's left to plan is your housewarming party!
