Tucked onto a generous fenced corner lot just a stone’s throw from downtown Milwaukie, this sweet and thoughtfully updated home offers an enviable blend of urban convenience, garden living, and easy access to nature. A welcoming front porch sets the tone, while inside, warm wood floors, abundant natural light, and an open floor plan create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Banks of windows look out over the mature trees and gardens, bringing the outdoors in. The updated kitchen features solid-surface countertops, plenty of storage, and opens to the main living spaces, while the handy back mudroom provides the perfect landing spot for coats, shoes and backpacks, with the washer and dryer right at hand. Both bedrooms are ensuite, each with its own full bath, offering a lovely sense of privacy and comfort. Outside, the large fenced corner lot is a gardener’s dream, with mature trees, raised beds, and established perennial edible plantings ready for their next chapter. A spacious storage shed and covered bike storage add even more functionality. And then there’s the location: the Springwater Trail is practically at your doorstep, with easy access to bike all the way to downtown Portland, Sellwood, Milwaukie, or east toward Gresham. Walk or ride to the waterfront, MAX transit, cafes, bakeries, breweries and shops, with the neighborhood’s growing collection of local spots just minutes away. Come home to a peaceful, garden-filled setting with the best of city life and nature right at your doorstep. A truly special home in an exceptional location.HES 8 [Home Energy Score = 8.
