Prepare to fall in love with this well-maintained split level, located in the charming Oak Grove neighborhood of Milwaukie. Please note - the home is not positioned immediately on River Road, but rather well above the street on a private road. Surrounded by lovely trees, the home's 0.25 lot is peaceful and private. The sizable backyard is fully fenced with garden beds, a water feature, and a covered patio directly off of the dining room. As a special bonus, there is also a small art studio, fully finished with electricity and heating.Inside, style and function come together to provide a wonderful home experience. There are four bedrooms (3 up, 1 down), and three full bathrooms. The living room has large west-facing windows and a charming wood fireplace, and flows nicely into the formal dining room. The kitchen has been updated and has newer appliances. The primary bedroom has both a walk-in closet and a great ensuite bathroom.The lower level offers a large family room with a wet-bar, eating area, and large windows for good natural light. It also has a fourth bedroom, perfect for guests or an office, and a full bathroom with laundry.To top it all off, the systems of the house are everything a homeowner would want, with a 200-amp panel, newer water heater (2020), and a new heat pump with A/C (2019).

House is set high up over River Road, in a peaceful setting with lots of trees around. The property appears to be generally well-maintained. Lower level suite could accommodate visiting guests nicely. Although there is no separate entrance, the...
stairs down to the lower suite are right near the front door of the house so guests would cause minimal disturbance by entering and exiting. The driveway is rather steep.
