Perched above Hillsdale and on the Southwest slopes of Council Crest with territorial views, this solid and classic 1950's home provides a flexible floor plan, practical and stylish updates. Freshly refinished hardwood floors and original Roman Brick fireplace harken back to the time when quality materials and craftsmanship still ruled the construction industry.Sunlight pours through generous picture windows in the living and dining rooms, pulling sky and greenery indoors and creating spaces that feel bright, open, and happily connected to the outdoors. The newly remodeled kitchen has perfect flow to the outside deck for effortless entertaining and makes it easy to watch the activities in the bountiful garden while stirring up dinner. Downstairs, the daylight walk-out basement reveals even more possibilities, with a family room, bedroom, bathroom, and second kitchen. This space is perfect for guests, multi-generational living, or expanding your everyday living space. A spacious 2 car garage with workshop area and electric charging station leaves plenty of room for cars, hobbies, and creative pursuits alike.This timeless yet adaptable home is less than a mile from Bridlemile Elementary and Albert Kelly Park, and moments from the charm of Multnomah Village and Hillsdale's shops, Farmers Markets, SW trails, and public library. Enjoy every season in this practical and magical home. [Home Energy Score = 6. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10191138]
