***OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 9-20 from 1-3pm*** A gardener’s paradise with mid-century charm and incredible versatility! Set on a serene .34-acre lot, this beautifully maintained Craftsman offers nearly 2,200 SF, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a finished basement—all surrounded by decades of thoughtfully cultivated gardens and remarkable privacy, creating an enchanting retreat in the city. The park-like backyard is truly a verdant oasis. Towering arborvitae create a secluded backdrop for 40+ year-old rhododendrons, fig and plum trees, blueberries, boysenberries, strawberries, huckleberries and grapes. Raised beds, a 10x10 greenhouse and 10x11 chicken coop invite you to grow, harvest and enjoy. A pergola-covered deck provides the perfect place to take it all in, while a 15x10 air-conditioned outbuilding with its own subpanel and electrical outlets offers endless possibilities as an art or hobby studio, yoga space or private retreat. Inside, the original character remains beautifully intact with gleaming hardwoods, French doors and even the original mail closet, complemented by thoughtful modern updates. Substantial energy-efficiency upgrades include a Trane heat pump w/AC, enhanced insulation, double-pane vinyl windows and a Regency high-efficiency wood stove insert. The finished lower level adds exceptional flexibility with additional living space, a second kitchen with pantry, refrigerator and sink, plus electronic entry and a chair lift—an intriguing option for multi-generational living, extended-stay guests, creative pursuits or potential future income. Lower level is not currently permitted as a separate dwelling; buyer to perform due diligence regarding intended use. Extensive improvements include an upgraded electrical panel, radon mitigation, updated garage door, rain garden and more. Minutes to parks, shopping, services and historic downtown Gresham, this is a rare opportunity to own a home where character, thoughtful stewardship and an extraordinary garden come together.
