Love nature and privacy, but like the convenience and sense of community that close-in city living has to offer, too? Look no further! This unicorn of a home is located on a quiet, charming street in SW Portland's desirable Hillsdale neighborhood, steps from multiple popular shopping and dining venues, grocery stores, public library, and elementary, middle and high schools, and positioned just-so on a large, treed lot to command privacy on all sides w/ unimpeded views of nature. This fabulous find has a pretty dreamy floor plan, too! Open yet cozy. Spacious yet intimate. A floor plan that works as perfectly for one as it does for many w/ great storage t/o for all your hobbies and outdoor pursuits! Main floor features an inviting entry w/ soaring ceilings and skylights, a spacious primary (w/ vaulted ceiling, ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet), remodeled kitchen w/ informal dining area open to the living rm (w/ vaulted ceiling and new gas fireplace), formal dining, and guest powder rm. The finished, daylight lower-level features tall ceilings t/o, two more bedrooms (each w/ its own bathroom), family rm w/ wet-bar, and a huge bonus rm offering all sorts of possibilities (big bed/bunk room, exercise room, play room, craft room ...). The not-to-be-missed remodeled kitchen features a Fulgor Milano gas cooktop, Bosch oven, convection-microwave and dishwasher, soft-close cabinetry, slab countertops, and a large walk-in pantry. Private decks on both levels, spanning the length of the home and accessed from both living areas and all bedrooms, highlight this home's intimate connection w/ nature. If the setting inspires you to action, wooded trails accessed from nearby George Himes Park, the extensive SW Trails network, and the Terwilliger Parkway are literally just outside your doorstep. And the super low maintenance yard allows time for just those pursuits and more! [Home Energy Score = 4. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10055907]
