Embrace the tree-lined zen of living tucked away in convenient Milwaukie. This stunning home will gracefully serve all your needs. A rustic stone-framed gas fireplace is the visual centerpiece of a very comfortable floor plan, with groovy sunken living room and warm engineered wood floors. A half bath and laundry room on the main level will prove to be super convenient! The well placed dining room is a happy central space for communal meals and has a slider leading outside for summertime suppers. The open kitchen is a dream - loads of cabinet and counter space, plumbed for a future gas range, and bar seating for socializing while whipping up a signature dish or two. Three bedrooms upstairs, all bright and welcoming - the primary bedroom with a walk-thru closet leading to a shared full bathroom, and the secondary bedroom with a large walk-in closet. Lots of cupboards and closets for linens and storage in this home! The fenced backyard is easily maintained, keeping life simple and serene, and there’s a HUGE driveway to accommodate your cars, motorcycles, and/or RV’s. An extra 420 sq ft in the 2-car attached garage plus a storage loft means you’ll never need to worry about where to stash clutter. There’s also a recently installed whole-house generator for peace of mind, central air to keep you cool in summer, and a metal roof for longevity, with stunning cedar wood shake siding. Close proximity to Spring Park Natural Area, Elk Rock Island, kayaking on the Willamette River, plus there’s quick access to historic downtown Milwaukie, with shops and restaurants and schools within easy reach. This is a cool, calming home with all the space, style, and function you could ask for. [Home Energy Score = 4. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10232466]
