Perched above the city in beloved Barlow Crest, this storybook cottage rests on a generous corner lot offering sweeping vistas of the city and even downtown Portland. From the moment you arrive, the charm is undeniable. Step onto the welcoming wraparound deck and into the home’s warm atmosphere. The main level unfolds beautifully - from the formal dining room to the light-filled kitchen and cozy living room anchored by a gas fireplace. A private office and convenient full bath complete the main floor. The gourmet kitchen blends style and function with JennAire appliances, quartz countertops, and plenty of custom cabinetry. From here, you can step outside to your private patio, ideal for hosting and relaxing alike. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite feels like a peaceful retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while the vaulted fourth bedroom/bonus room offers incredible flexibility. Plumbed & wired for a kitchen, equipped with a mini split, and outfitted with French doors that lead to a view-filled deck, this space is perfect as an entertainment room, guest suite, or private apartment. The oversized laundry room is ideal for hobbies or a secondary workspace. Outside, meandering garden paths, a large patio, and a versatile covered RV area (future play zone, workshop, or entertainment space) extend the home's charm into every corner of the lot. And with an elevator serving all levels, this home offers both comfort and accessibility. Enjoy peace of mind with thoughtful upgrades and maintenance including the whole-home generator, fresh interior paint, new carpet, and an overhaul of the roof/gutters/screens/downspouts. Tucked into the quiet, tree-lined streets of the Barlow Crest neighborhood, you’ll love the strong sense of community, the proximity to parks and top-rated schools, and the easy access to historic downtown, trails, and I-205.
