Tucked above a dead-end street, this enchanting 1940s woodland retreat offers treehouse-like magic. A spacious front deck welcomes you with private south-facing views to enjoy from built-in benches. The interior lives large with a warm, ethereal feel. Inviting living room is the heart of the home featuring a fireplace and French doors that open to yet another picturesque deck. Upstairs, the decadent primary suite belongs in a luxurious private lodge. Attached bathroom impresses with ornate double vanity and open shower featuring vaulted ceilings, skylight, and dual shower heads. Upper level even has a versatile bonus room ideal for a writer’s/artist’s studio, playroom, or simply a quiet hideout. The backyard is alive with deer, bunnies, birds, and backs up to Maricara Natural Area. Thoughtful updates include fresh interior paint, new upstairs carpet, recently repaired and painted decks, a new water heater, and seismic upgrades (2023). Near scenic nature trails, Stephenson Elementary, and just minutes from the charm and convenience of Lake Oswego. [Home Energy Score = 2.
