Artful Arbor Lodge Sanctuary! Watch the world go by from under the wisteria arbor on the front porch, or gather in the secluded backyard oasis: this 1928 home is charming inside & out. Smart updates and an unusual amount of storage for a home of this era. The living room features a gas fireplace flanked by original leaded glass built-ins. The remodeled kitchen includes a gas range & hood with updated finishes and generous space for an island or table by the bay window. Hardwood floors and high ceilings throughout provide an airy feeling, while two back bedrooms and full tiled bath complete the main level. The primary suite has a wide stairway, bonus landing area, double closet, and a full bath. Relax in the expansive yet cozy family room downstairs! The basement also includes two rooms with laundry, utilities and storage. A highlight is the fenced backyard wonderland! A deluxe covered patio equipped with ceiling fan & skylights is a perfect spot for dining, summer movies, and enjoying the landscaping with a waterfall & pond. The garage is meticulously maintained with a high quality epoxy floor. You'll find this home energy efficient, with 9 double hung Marvin windows, newer 97% efficiency furnace and central AC. In July 2024, the pond was refreshed with a new pump and liner; yard irrigation redone, and trees maintained and pruned. Fabulous location with quick access to Adidas, the city, as well as easy routes to the gorge, Washington and nature. This home is 4 blocks from Arbor Lodge Park's tennis and dog park; close to Willamette Blvd and Columbia Park; as well as restaurants & schools, making it a quintessential Portland home base.
