This is the Mid-Century Ranch you’ve been looking for! Picture perfect, this 1950’s classic is located on a peaceful, quiet street in a mature neighborhood, and is surrounded by gorgeous landscaping, majestic fir trees, and graceful Japanese maples. A lovely entrance with a generous foyer draws you into the heart of the home– a warm and inviting living room with rich wood paneling, classic brick fireplace, and a huge picture window with a view out to the park-like backyard. Hardwood floors, beautiful millwork, and modern lighting create a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for cozying up with a good book or playing a rousing board game by the fire.
The dining room is open to both the living room and kitchen and has period built-ins. A large, floor-to-ceiling window opens to the backyard and patio, creating a year-round experience of “outdoor dining.” A convenient breakfast bar separates the eating area and the kitchen, providing space for informal meals or laying a spread when it’s your turn to host. This is a wonderful space for entertaining and also perfect for intimate dinners.
The remodeled kitchen has a great layout plus many updates, including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, newer dishwasher, custom tile work, classic Marmoleum flooring, and ample, well-lit counter space. Just off the kitchen is a large master bedroom with a full bathroom. This space has great potential for a home office, family room, or home gym.
Away from the kitchen toward the other end of the home, you’ll find three quiet, light-filled bedrooms with beautiful millwork, warm wood floors, and ample closets. A roomy modern bathroom with double sinks and stylish updates accommodates everyone during the morning rush, or in the evening allows a relaxing soak in the tub before bed.
The fully fenced backyard is gorgeously landscaped. Ample patio space ringed by mature Japanese maples and a stand of large fir trees creates a private northwest retreat, perfect for entertaining on a warm summer evening, or for relaxing with a hot cup of coffee and a crossword on a sunny morning. The charming garden shed enhances the park-like atmosphere and keeps all your tools and toys tastefully out of sight. A large mudroom complete with laundry and storage allows entry from the backyard and provides a convenient spot to slip off muddy boots after gardening or playing.
Lovingly cared for this home has professionally landscaped yards with built-in watering systems, newer double pane windows, updated plumbing, a recent water main replacement, and newer central A/C.
Located away from the hustle and bustle but with easy access to shopping and hwys I-84 & I-205. Close proximity to Glendoveer Golf Course and walking trails, and a short walk to the MAX line serving the greater metro area, including downtown and PDX airport. Enjoy your own private park and quiet, one-level living while still experiencing all the benefits of city life.
