This house has a way of taking care of the people in it. For the last two years, this was home to two best friends, who came here to chase their dreams. Now, with those dreams coming true, they're moving on. Before them, it held a family with four children's favorite memories. This house has been good to the people who've lived in it. Whoever's next is in for the same. From the porch swing on the front porch of this house, you can listen to the birds in the morning, watch the lights come on at the North Portland Library at the end of the block, then look up and find the stars. Four blocks from the Peninsula Park Rose Garden, on a block where the neighbors actually look out for each other. A few details about the place itself: The kitchen was refinished two years ago wood floors, new marble countertops, gas range. There's a formal dining room and a formal living room with a working wood-burning fireplace, plus exposed wood trim throughout that gives the whole place a warm, light-filled feel. Two bedrooms upstairs (one extra-large, one regular-sized) and two bedrooms downstairs. A laundry chute runs from the bathroom straight down to the basement, where the washer and dryer live. The backyard is fenced, with planters ready to be put back into use and a shed for bikes and patio furniture. Out front, a covered porch with real privacy and that swing.
