Exceptionally well-updated midcentury ranch with lots of really special details. What sets this home apart is the spacious, sunny kitchen and dining room. They are combined in one large room with a big slider out to the covered back deck. There's an island and lots of room to hang out and cook and relax. The previous owners remodeled the kitchen and bathroom and the choices they made are *chefs kiss*. The tile in the kitchen mimics the shape of the original brick on the fireplace. You have to see the bathroom to believe it. They made so many updates! They added solar panels, replaced the roof and gutters, re-sided the house with wood, replaced the furnace, AC (yes there is central air!), water heater, and windows, all since 2021. The house sits on an alley, and has a parking pad in the back, so with the garage in front that means double parking! One of the best parts is the covered back deck and bench seating. It makes the house feel seamlessly connected to the backyard. There's a chicken coop back there, irrigated garden beds in the front, and the yard is Portland Backyard Habitat Certified. The power from the solar panels cover around 85% of your electricity bill, and give this home a home energy score 8! Plans were drawn up for an addition with a primary bedroom and bathroom, and the plans come with the house. New Seasons, Chill N Fill, Columbia Park, University Park are all close by. Please don't be scared by front yard ghosts: they are expecting you. [Home Energy Score = 8. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10152606]
