JUST LISTED: Adorable Milwaukie Bungalow

Neighbors remark that it’s the most charming house on the street, and we agree! It could be the pleasing proportions or the lovely stained glass accent windows at the front door. But that’s just the start of what makes this Lake Road neighborhood home so attractive.

This adorable bungalow is the perfect homebase for all of your adventures.

It lives large with generous and comfortable spaces throughout all three floors. You enter the front room that holds plenty of space for formal and informal settings, all with newer windows that look out onto the quiet street. The formal dining room is set off the kitchen — with a pass-through window — which makes entertaining relaxed and easy. The second bedroom located on the first floor easily doubles as an office and has views to the gorgeous backyard. Upstairs is the comfy main bedroom featuring a full walk-in closet room with south-facing windows that flood with light all day long. Storage is abundant throughout all three floors, with plenty of workshop and flex options in the full basement & the 18’x24’ detached garage.

The spacious, sun-filled backyard is primed for entertaining with gorgeous new patio and deck, custom raised garden beds & a new driveway gate. And most important for adventure-seeking: the house is ideally-located with easy access to everything. It’s just about 1 mile to historic downtown Milwaukie and the Milwaukie Farmer’s Market, Milwaukie Bay Park, the Willamette River and MAX Orange Line stops. And this big bonus: a new (!) New Seasons opening ~1/4 mile away this fall.

Truly, everything you need is here. Don’t miss this one!
