Magical in Milwaukie | Creekside Cape Cod Retreat Welcome to Aldercrest, a one-of-a-kind retreat nestled at the confluence of Kellogg and Scott Creeks. Tucked away on 2+acres of pastoral grounds, this 1938 Cape Cod–style home is where timeless character meets modern updates, creating a sanctuary that feels both private and connected. Whether you are drawn to the land, the vintage charm, or the convenience of being minutes from Portland, this property is the kind of rare offering that comes along once in a generation.Vintage Character, Modern ComfortsFrom the moment you arrive, the home radiates a sense of warmth and welcome. Its classic Cape Cod architecture — gabled roofline, symmetrical façade, and charming shutters — sets the stage for a property that has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated. Inside, hardwood floors ground the main living areas in authenticity, while a wood-clad sunroom invites natural light and provides a cozy spot to take in year-round views of the surrounding landscape. The kitchen and bathrooms have been fully renovated, marrying modern convenience with respect for the home’s 1930s heritage. Stylish finishes, updated fixtures, and thoughtful layouts make daily living easy while preserving the sense of history that gives this home its soul.A fully finished basement adds even more space and versatility. Whether you envision a guest suite, media room, home office, or the possibility of multi-generational living, the home adapts gracefully to a wide range of lifestyles. Enjoy energy efficient updates including heat pump/AC and EV charging station. Unique Bonus: A Creekside CabinAdding to the property’s charm is a creekside cabin, tucked away in its own private corner of the grounds. With a history as a rental, the cabin offers potential for stable income, a guest house, or a creative studio. Imagine the possibilities — a writing retreat, an artist’s workspace, or simply a cozy hideaway for visiting family and friends.
