View ListingSmack dab in the heart of Richmond with easy access to an array of dining options and watering holes galore, this solid mid century dreamboat is on a quiet street with easy access to transit, bike lanes and main thoroughfares alike. The flourishing greenery of the front landscape welcomes you!
It’s chock full of surprises, in both form and function. Quality finishes include original oak floors, fluted tile around the gas fireplace and sleek modern ceiling fan in the living room, which is open to the dining area, offering the flexibility to expand your table when you’re hosting. Seen Marie Kondo’s Transformer Tables? Modern thermal windows hug the corners of the living area, wrapping you in morning and afternoon filtered sunlight. The retro kitchen is showing off her brand new quartz countertop, CVT flooring and stainless steel appliances, while maintaining her vintage vibe. The smart layout, with plenty of storage and the bathroom set between the bedrooms, makes living a breeze. Zone II – the permitted, finished basement, bedecked in cork flooring and burgeoning with built-ins, features a well endowed office, family room with a second gas fireplace, a mod 2nd bathroom, 3rd bedroom and a dedicated utility room. Got teens, hobbies or housemates? Perfection! Keep cool with recently installed central AC.
Embraced by lush privacy hedges, the oversized backyard is a Portlander’s dream! The spacious covered patio begs the question, “why not build an outdoor kitchen”? Craft your design as you soak in the new, well maintained hot tub in the glow of the party lights. Pop up a projection screen and entertain with private movie nights. The coop is ready for rescue chicks or pet bunnies. Raised beds make growing your own crops a no brainer. Pull your EV into the driveway and enjoy level 2 home charging. The generous, well lit, real garage offers secure parking, workshop space or a perfect home for your kayak collection, bikes, pottery wheel and overflow craft supplies.
