Sweet and mighty, this 3 bed 1 bath Kenton ranch is a true gem! The home’s solid 1950s bones are paired with classic mid-century features, including oak hardwood floors and an inviting brick fireplace. Walking up to the home you’re welcomed by a spacious front yard and covered porch. The living space has abundant natural light, courtesy of the large windows, solar tubes, and skylights. Somehow every window in this home has a beautiful green view! The primary bedroom has sliding doors out to the back deck and yard. Did someone say yard?! Because seriously, come for the quality of the home and stay for the beautiful lot! The fully fenced backyard wraps around the back of the home and features a large patio, trellis covered deck, fire pit area, charming shed/play house, and raised bed ready for spring planting. You’ll appreciate the many mature plants and trees including dogwood, cherry, rhododendron, jasmine, clematis, and red cedar. This home also has driveway parking and an attached 260 sq ft garage with workshop space + access to the backyard. Nearly every system in this home has been updated in recent years: Exterior Paint (2026), Roof (2023), 6K Steel Gutters (2023), Gas Furnace (2023), Main Water Supply Line Replacement (2021), Water Heater (2021), Sewer Line (2014). The Kenton neighborhood is welcoming and has all of the amenities and good vibes you’re hoping for. Kenton Park is just a few blocks away and quick access to the MAX/public transit is the cherry on top! [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10247735]
