Framed with a flowering dogwood tree in Spring and set back from the street, this affordable one-level cottage-style home brings vintage sweetness with welcome updates. An open floor plan and large windows allow so much natural light in the living areas. The original hardwood floors provide a romantic warmth. The updated kitchen is fresh and accessible, with soft close cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, and lots of space for culinary creations. A surprisingly large laundry area offers storage solutions, and leads out to the back yard. Two very comfy and cute bedrooms have lovely light, and the adorable bathroom was recently remodeled. You’ll love the partially paved backyard, with areas for socializing, gardening, and play, and there's more than enough space to park an airstream or work on outdoor projects - there's even a 50 amp plug ready to go for powering a tiny house! The surrounding landscaping has been designed to provide year-round color. With schools, shops, and restaurants nearby, easy access to Woodstock, and a park in every possible direction, you’ll feel right at home in this sleepy SE neighborhood. This is an easy-living home with solid midcentury bones, a smart layout, and oodles of charm. [Home Energy Score = 6. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10236618]
