This is an enchanting property that feels far from it all yet still connected to city energy. Just minutes from St. Johns and NW PDX, with Forest Park in your backyard. Experience the seasonal changes to the landscape and views of the Willamette. Enjoy coffee and sunrises over the St. John's Bridge from the covered front porch. The home combines classic craftsman character with modern updates: a chef's kitchen with 5-burner gas range, Bosch refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and natural stone counters, and walk-in pantry with beverage fridge. Restoration Hardware bathroom fixtures, open spaces with great natural light, matte-finish hardwoods on the main level, living room built-ins, high ceilings, and arched entryways. Three upstairs bedrooms with generous closets and fir floors. The daylight basement offers endless options: family room, exercise area, craft space, guest quarters, or a massive primary suite. The home is located close enough for easy commutes and convenient access to amenities, and far enough to feel more freedom than a typical city home. And the double lot provides room to roam and harvest, with apple, pear, plum, and fig trees, raised beds, and native plants. All in this cool community on the hill with miles of Forest Park trails right out the door. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10226919]
