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.
