Long afternoon conversations, early morning coffees, gatherings that turn into impromptu Friday night hangouts with friends of all kinds, are all made possible courtesy of your massive wraparound deck and corner lot. With multiple covered deck sections, privacy screening, expansive views of trees, along with a large patch perfect for your next garden, and an ample grass yard, the good vibes freely flow from outdoors in here at this whimsical SW cottage. Head inside and you'll find welcoming, open concept living and dining rooms with classic touches like real hardwoods combined with the livability of an updated kitchen and features you'll love like vinyl windows and new plumbing for energy efficiency. A large, bright guest room and full bath are close at hand while your extra large primary suite is tucked away at the back of the house for extra privacy. The primary suite gives you the room you need to get ready for a busy week while the skylight, built-ins, and space start each day off on a peaceful note. The downstairs is perfect for a private home office, a gym, media room, or a creative/maker space. Set among the trees in SW PDX, you have great access to parks, trails, amenities, and education. || UPDATES: the sellers have recently had the home repiped, replaced a retaining wall, and added new water heater. Long-term peace of mind built in for you! [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10201463]
