Tucked into highly desirable Arbor Lodge, this 4 bedroom, 2 full bath home offers a surprisingly peaceful and quiet setting you truly have to experience in person. Despite being just minutes from shopping, restaurants, MAX access, parks, and easy freeway connections, the home and private backyard feel calm, serene, and removed from nearby traffic. Refinished hardwood floors span the main and upper levels, while fresh interior and exterior paint create a clean, cohesive feel throughout. Original woodwork, custom built-ins, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace bring warmth and character you rarely find. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with shaker-style wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a deep sink designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The fully permitted basement remodel adds true, appraiser-recognized living space featuring a private layout, egress bedroom, walk-in closet, kitchenette, and separate utilities including dual electrical meters, separate laundry, and its own water heater (water shared). Ideal for extended living, guests, rental potential, or a private primary suite retreat. Major upgrades include new PEX plumbing, new drain lines, chimney re-tuckpointing, DEQ-certified oil tank decommission, new water line to the main, newer vinyl windows, two newer water heaters, two newer electrical panels, new dual electrical main service, and a high-efficiency multi-zone mini split system for year-round comfort. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced, low-maintenance backyard with multiple covered patio areas perfect for relaxing or entertaining, plus a one-car garage and generous off-street parking. Homes with this level of updates, flexibility, and true permitted square footage rarely come available. [Home Energy Score = 4. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10059797]
