Looks, location, and smartly updated with meticulous improvements, this sweet period home is mechanically dialed and just bursting with charisma. It has curb appeal galore, with an adorable entrance into your new home. Plentiful windows welcome gorgeous natural light, illuminating hardwood floors and a cozy wood burning fireplace in the living room. A recently completely redone kitchen is stylish and functional, with quartz counters, bespoke custom cabinets, new appliances including a pro-style induction range with convection oven, and splendid tile from local artist Margaret Kuhn. A dedicated dining area leads out to the back deck through a beautiful Milgard fir slider--ready for summertime outdoor entertaining. Two lovely bedrooms with built-in closets on the main level share a vintage-inspired remodeled bathroom with peppy marmoleum and adorable tile work. Upstairs, a very spacious bonus room with two functional skylights that could be ideal for a home office, craft space, media room, or art studio. Take advantage of the potential in the unfinished basement - with a little vision, this could be an amazing extra space, boosting your livable square footage. A deep lush private backyard connects to the detached garage. An additional off-street parking space is available at the back of the driveway in front of the garage offering much flexibility. Love living in the thriving Kenton community, on a quaint street, close to shops, transit, restaurants, and both Columbia and Kenton Parks. Transportation is a snap from this location that is so close to freeways, Greeley Avenue, MAX, and bus lines. This is a very special property with immense pride of ownership. Are you its next loving steward? [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10215591]
