This lovingly updated Arbor Lodge bungalow is ready to welcome its new owners. The home's entry is bright and open, with hardwood floors and large energy-efficient windows that bring in a wealth of natural light. The gas fireplace surround is composed of original shiplap from the home, and is just one of the character touches throughout the house. With a surprisingly open floorplan, the bright kitchen allows you to interact with friends in the living room, through the dining room, straight out to the yard. The large deck, paver patio, custom pergola, and fire pit area all provide unique areas for entertaining or just relaxation. Low maintenance landscaping in the front and back yards include raised garden beds and a variety of mature plants. Inside, the oversized primary bedroom is a respite from day to day life, a cozy retreat. If you need another space to enjoy, the updated bathroom includes neutral colors and a deep soaking tub. Inside the second downstairs bedroom is a closet built-in that allows you to use it as a bright office, or as a guest room. Up the original stairs, through the handmade barn door, and you find yourself in an incredibly large flex space. Usable as a bedroom, living room, office, or home gym, let your imagination (or Pinterest page) run wild. While this home is obviously Instagram cute, there have also been updates to the plumbing and electrical systems, as well as insulation added to the main walls. It also has a newer roof and interior and exterior paint. You won't find a better location. While this home is a quiet hideaway, it's also less than 1 mile to New Seasons and less than 1/4 mile to Arbor Lodge Park and the elementary school. Exceptional restaurants, live music, and shops are all close by. [Home Energy Score = 4. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10229753]
