Original Kelso homestead on nearly 1/2 acre in the heart of downtown—just steps from the Cowlitz River! Bursting with charm and updates: new LVP flooring, fresh paint, renovated upstairs bath, updated kitchen, laundry, and main bath. Primary bedroom on the main, plus 3 more bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. Outside is an entertainer’s dream with a custom fenced oasis, pergola with bistro lights, paver patio, garden beds, greenhouse, and tons of established fruit trees and bulbs. Half the windows are new Andersons, and there’s even a butler’s pantry! So much to love—come see and finish this beauty!
