Sweet and sturdy, this 1950s one-level Parkrose Heights home embodies midcentury ranch appeal with solid bones. A large living room window welcomes in the natural light to a cozy space for relaxation, and the original hardwood floors provide a complementary warmth. Love the arched entryway to the dining area - a perfect spot for sunny breakfasts and afternoon studying - and the quintessential ranch kitchen channels cool nanna vibes. Wood trimmed windows in the bedrooms give a wink to timeless midcentury standards, there's ample closet storage throughout, and a cute vintage bathroom! The private, fenced backyard is a happy surprise, with easy, established landscaping, and lots of space for socializing, gardening, and grilling with friends. A detached one-car garage is great for secure parking, or perhaps creating your dream art studio? Blocks from Knott City Park for walking the pups, and close to schools as well. Not too far from Montavilla's self-contained village with excellent food and culture destinations - BiPartisan Cafe, The Observatory, Academy Theater, and Montavilla's farmers market - and close to Rocky Butte Natural Area, with quick commute thoroughfares and transit options. Neat, bright, and functional, this is a truly lovely home with plenty of charm. [Home Energy Score = 4. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10231388]
