Open Saturday 8/23 12-2:This restored 1908 Craftsman home, with a Mt Hood view, is set amongst 10,000 SF of lush gardens, & impeccably located close to many conveniences! A covered front porch, draped in mature wisteria, welcomes guests. The central foyer, with maple floors, leads to the living room, with high ceilings, pocket doors and a bay window. The wood-burning, gas fireplace sits between the living & dining area, resulting in an open and connected layout. The chef's kitchen, also open to the dining area, was masterfully renovated for a restauranteur, combining high-end appliances, quality finishes & loads of storage. A center island, topped with a slab of burlwood, is the heart of the space, creating a perfect place for keeping the chef company, or for having morning coffee. French doors, between the kitchen & dining area, open to the wraparound entertaining deck. Open the doors for a seamless connection to the outdoors & surrounding gardens. When the home was renovated thoughtful touches were added, which tie into the home's Craftsman architecture, like built-ins in the dining room, shaker style cabinets in the kitchen, and a den with a library wall of bookshelves. Enjoy a fully fenced, private yard, with a level lawn, central patio plus multiple outdoor retreats. Meandering pathways lead around the home, surrounded by mature blooming shrubs including hydrangea, roses, raspberries, and mature trees. Cut gorgeous seasonal bouquets and grow your own food in the raised beds, with the abundance of south-facing sun. The extra-wide driveway is adjacent to the home & leads to a mud/laundry room. Unfinished basement, with an exterior door is perfect for loading & storing outdoor gear. A garden shed conveniently stores garden tools. The location provides close access to OHSU, Downtown, Johns Landing, Hillsdale Farmers market, & transit. Just around the corner from the French-American School, Fulton Park and the Fulton Park Community Garden. [Home Energy Score = 4. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10190320]
