This charming daylight ranch in a picturesque SW Portland neighborhood has fabulous curb appeal! Just try not to smile at the adorable yet strong & functional white picket fence w/gates surrounding the front yard landscape adorned w/beautiful shrubbery & flowering trees. You’ll feel your heart rate slowing & your breath deepening as you stroll the almost half acre grounds on meandering flagstone pathways & explore delightful corners of this peaceful & private retreat. The kitchen has gleaming stainless steel appliances, a skylight, hardwood floors, granite tile countertops & beautiful cabinetry. The open living & dining rooms make an impressive statement w/expansive windows that let the outside in + a cozy fireplace for cooler evenings. Step out onto the 590 sq. ft. deck & view your own private backyard oasis, reminiscent of a delightful English garden w/winding pathways, greenery arches, & diverse plantings. The primary bedroom w/sliding door leads out onto the expansive deck, + a walk-in closet w/shelving so that everything has its place + a connected bathroom w/bidet toilet & tub/shower combo. The lower level, partially remodeled in 2025, includes 2 bedrooms, family room, exercise room, laundry & a remodeled bathroom. The large laundry area w/storage cabinets & a utility sink can be a handy kitchenette if you choose to use this lower space as an ADU. Ideal for multi-generational living, rent it out or Airbnb? A practical gravel drive on one side of the house leads through a double gate to the back yard and studio. So much opportunity here! Clear out some of the volunteer trees and create a fire pit, raised garden beds, bocce ball area and so much more! Smart updates in 2015 include new roof, furnace, AC, hot water heater, deck & sprinkler system! On nearly ½ acre, there is abundant space for dreaming & creating. Near PDX, St Vincent’s Medical Center, Forest Park, restaurants & shopping, this oasis in the middle of suburbia is a rare find!
