The Kerns neighborhood hums with creative energy. Named one of the “coolest neighborhoods” in the U.S. in 2024, it's a true playground for food lovers - a place to sip, savor, and wander - with this charming old home right at its heart. Opulent umbrella leaves drape the entry, welcoming you inside to tall ceilings and sunlit rooms that unfold one into the next. Multiple living spaces invite lounging and gathering, following the light as it moves gracefully through the day. The kitchen is spacious and inviting, yet can be closed off from the dining and living rooms for the cook who prefers a little privacy. French doors open to a serene, zen-like garden patio, complete with a pond with visiting springtime ducks. There's even a tree fort waiting for a young adventurer. Upstairs, four bedrooms spiral from the landing, including a generously sized primary with room for all your favorite pieces. A blend of vintage lighting, marble tile, slate, and warm fir floors creates an eclectic tapestry of texture & creativity. Below, a versatile space with its own private entrance offers endless possibility - a guest retreat, teen haven, studio, or work-from-home sanctuary. The attached garage is perfect for mopeds + bikes. With a walkability score of 94, cycling friendly streets & just a 5 mins walk to mass transit convenience is effortless~ Imagine starting your morning with coffee and donut at Crema Coffee, spending the afternoon beneath the trees at Laurelhurst Park, catching a film at the beloved 1923 Laurelhurst Theater, and ending the evening with wine and small bites at Cheese & Crack unless you feel torn between that and Ken's Artisan Pizza. This is more than a home - it's an invitation to settle into a vibrant neighborhood that feels like a small-town community.
