This charming 3 bedroom 2 bath home is nestled mere minutes from downtown Hillsboro. The home itself is comfortable and well-maintained with bamboo flooring and a recently remodeled master bath with a luxurious soaking tub. All the bedrooms get excellent light. The kitchen occupies the heart of the home with ample storage and a bright window box for your interior garden. The real magic of this home extends into the expansive backyard and garden (8,276 sqft parcel). An oversized, detached garage also features an art studio with separate entrance. The studio, while not equipped as living space, looks out onto the garden which includes 9 raised beds and a large raspberry trellis which bears fruit through much of the year. May through October you'll want to share your abundant raspberries and whatever else you choose to grow. The front yard, which is large and situates the house nicely from the road, features an espaliered apple tree and mature Japanese maple. Two long driveways on either side of the house offer generous parking, including space for your RV and/or boat. Walking or biking to the farmers market is a breeze. Items added in the last couple of years include new furnace, washer/dryer, refrigerator, new kitchen flooring & cabinets, new range, full primary bathroom remodel, art studio, and exterior paint. This gem feels like living in the country with unbeatable access to all that historic downtown Hillsboro has to offer. Truly a must see! [Home Energy Score = 6.
