It is large and it is nice. This is a two-story early Portland period piece with 3-bedrooms, 2 baths, 1000sf first floor, 700sf second floor, 550sf basement and a 400sf detached carriage house. The exterior is striking with red brick, lime green siding and light honey trim. Steps to the covered front porch then the front door opens to a striking living room with 9-foot ceilings trimmed with crown mold, original light fixtures and an Oak floor. The dining room is carpeted and is also trimmed with crown mold. A rustic chandelier hangs there. There is a large bonus room off of the dining room (office?). All ceilings are 9' on the first floor giving the house a true feeling of spaciousness. The kitchen cabinets are original and are an attractive period piece in a large kitchen that opens to a breakfast nook in one corner. In the other back corner of the kitchen the door opens to the landing laundry area with washer and dryer on the landing and steps to the basement and to backdoors and steps to the fenced backyard and out to the carriage house. The basement has good lighting and outlets and a large workbench that was built in that basement. Three bedrooms are upstairs, two large and one smaller, trimmed with picture mold and some old light fixtures. There is a really good view of the city and West hills from the master bedroom. The bathrooms are small, one downstairs and one upstairs. The carriage house is 20' x 20' with two sets of double doors. it is wired and lighted for an artist studio? a hobby room or exercise room? Workshop? RV storage? The backyard is fenced. The driveway is narrow. There have been upgrades to the inbound water supply, some of the electrical, a 95% efficiency furnace, insulation, and newer paint and carpet. There is a full set of storm windows. It is located only 1 block from the Glisan Fred Meyer store and is minutes to downtown by vehicle, bus or bike. Freeway access is 8 blocks away. I will consider pets on an individual basis but there are fees to cover possible damage. This is a great family home!
