Come home to this Cape Cod inspired estate in the heart of Kenton! This expansive homestead features over 3,000 sq ft of space and character, making it an ideal place to grow. With 4 large bedrooms, 2.1 baths, plus bonus flex space in the converted basement & garage, this beautiful beast of a home strikes the perfect balance between comfort and uniqueness. The main floor features a cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace, flowing into a bright south-facing dining area with original corner built-ins, a renovated kitchen with butcher block counters, custom cabinetry, and high-end appliances. In addition, you'll find two large bedrooms and a remodeled full bathroom. Upstairs, we have two more sizeable bedrooms and a full bathroom. Step downstairs to the completely transformed basement - whether you're looking for extra living space, the ultimate party pad, or a laid-back hangout, the basement is THE place to be. Enjoy high ceilings, a half bath, plenty of storage, plus a separate laundry/utility room. Outside, the fully fenced landscaped front yard has three pergolas to add some serious curb appeal, while the backyard yard includes raised beds with drip irrigation, an in-ground fire pit, a chicken coop, and a covered outdoor lounge area- perfectly dialed for all the PNW seasons! The oversized detached double-car garage has recently been converted to a flex space for all your crafty endeavors. A utility shed behind the garage keeps all tools nicely tucked away. Charming wallpaper, thoughtful updates, and artistic touches throughout the home lend plenty of character to this Cape Cod Wonder. Located on a quiet block, across the street from a smaller satellite school- meaning no loud noises or school pickup lines. All this just a few blocks from the heart of Kenton. Come see it to believe it! [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10225157]
