Great things come in small packages! This darling cottage lives much larger than its square footage belies. With its tall ceilings and abundance of light, this much loved home has been carefully updated and ready for new owners. The central living area includes hardwood floors, updated windows throughout, a beautiful decorative fireplace and dining area. The spacious, updated kitchen has plenty of counter space for all your cooking creations. Updates include new countertops, floors, wood ceiling, and refrigerator. Bathroom renovations included all new finishes as well as a full house repipe with new supply line and water heater, completed in 2023. The perfectly proportioned primary bedroom includes a beautiful ceiling treatment, repaired wood floors and built in closets. Outside, the fully fenced yard includes a raised deck and lower patio for entertaining. The rest is a blank slate for what you dream up. A garden? An ADU? Both? (Buyer to do due diligence). Open the new cellar doors to find extra storage space as well as the furnace and water heater; this was also the previous home of the above ground oil tank, removed in 2021. In the Spring of 2025 the newly renovated Mt. Scott Community Center just across the street, will reopen its doors to welcome the community back to its pool, fitness center, tennis courts and roller skating rink. Conveniently located near Portland Mercado, transit and freeways, this fantastic location keeps Portland at your fingertips. [Home Energy Score = 6.
