Welcome home to an inviting bungalow with recent updates! Unassuming on the front, visitors remark how much this home opens up like a lovely flower. Walk in, and the interior home radiates warmth with beautiful wood floors, finished basement with a large master bedroom (with walk-in closet), and special touches liked the coved arch in the living room. Well-maintained and lovingly cared-for, this property was renovated in 2005 and adds a new touch to the desired fine craftsmanship of the bungalow era. The kitchen was renovated in 2015 to include glass accent backsplash, stainless steel appliances, new composite countertops, and new under-mounted sink that home chefs love. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and attached bath, along with a jetted tub. Step out into the backyard, and more surprises pop open. A ready-to-go vegetable garden has already been planted, and you can enjoy your own crops amid this garden oasis setting. Extensive naturescaping, combined with a grassy area, as well as a fenced dog run makes this backyard a pleasant retreat where you can truly relax. But the crowning part of this location is the stunning full view of Rocky Butte. Enjoy the view from your covered deck or out on the patio. Bird life abounds, and the backyard is offset by a tall Douglas fir that provides shade for the hottest parts of the day and sun to all of the veggie growing plots. Your very own mulch bins are great sources for nutrient-rich soil used by gardeners. The nearby Dharma Zen Rain Center has a nice network of paths (open to the public) to wander. Close to grocery stores, parks, and quick access to the freeways (5 mins to Portland Airport!) connecting to Oregon's beautiful outdoors and the downtown scene, and this home is perfect for the Portland lifestyle. MAX light rail is close by, and two bus lines within 5 minutes. Value-adds: pre-planted veggie garden, herb box, dog run, patio, covered deck, and security system. Garage has extensive shelving system and tool storage shed ready to be used! All appliances included to make this property move-in ready. Seller happy to work with buyers' agents at 2.5%.
