Welcome to your Gardenesque Oasis! Step through the landscaped terrace front, framed by mature grapevines, a Japanese maple, and established garden beds. Inside, original hardwood floors, built-ins, wood-framed dual-pane windows, and colorful pops of personality showcase the home’s classic character. Windows on all sides fill the home with natural light, while four exterior exits create an effortless indoor-outdoor connection. The main level features three bedrooms, a full bath, and a kitchen flowing naturally into the dining and living spaces. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room with a unique double-sided design extending toward the patio. A whole-house fan circulates cool air throughout the home as an alternative to traditional central AC. The private, fully fenced backyard is the true showstopper, thoughtfully maintained without herbicides or pesticides. Seasonal blooms include daffodils, hellebores, tulips, coneflowers, clematis, fuchsias, Shasta daisies, black-eyed Susans, and asters, with evergreen shrubs and ferns providing year-round interest. Apple, cherry and pear trees with huckleberry and honeyberry bushes, water fountain, rain barrels, compost bin, open shed and meandering paved paths complete this peaceful retreat. The finished daylight basement adds flexible living space, a half bath with potential for a full bath, and direct access to an extra deep insulated garage that can fit 2 cars. Notable updates include a 2025 garage door/range hood, 2024 water heater, 2024 furnace service, 2023 refrigerator, 2022 stove, 2021 foundation skim coat, 2015 roof, 2012 electrical panel, 2008 vinyl windows/doors, and additional electrical upgrades through 2026. Just blocks from Downtown Milwaukie, Pfriem Brewery, New Seasons, Pietro Pizza, Century Park, Minthorn Natural Area, Highway 224, TriMet, and the Willamette River, this home offers neighborhood living with easy access to Sellwood-Moreland and Portland. Come for the gardens, stay for the charm! [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10251935]
