A rare find! A proud mid-century home hitting the market for the very first time! You will find authentic character, strong honest bones, and a wide-open canvas ready for a thoughtful transformation. Boasting 2,864 of recognized living square footage as well as 416 unfinished basement sq ft, when you pass through either of the two front doors in to the foyer is the main level. Hosted on this floor is a large living room with 2-sided fireplace (open to the dining area) flows to the hallway, kitchen, dining area, sliders to the upper deck, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. Open-beam construction and vaulted ceilings on the main give the interior a sense of height and light. Traveling down to the lower level is an untapped potential. A bonus room/media room/family room with fireplace, 4th bedroom with bathroom, storage/workshop space and another large room waiting for a purpose. Exterior door off oversized laundry room and slider off the bonus room provide easy access to the lower deck and backyard area. The laundry room has a sink, built-in ironing board, and tons of storage! Step outside and the generous lot delivers plenty of breathing room, complete with upper and lower decks perfectly suited to morning coffee, weekend barbecues, and/or space to entertain gatherings. Homes with this much untapped potential and this kind of pedigree rarely come around, and when they do, they tend to spark plenty of conversation. The location only sweetens the appeal. Albert Kelly Park and Council Crest Park are close at hand for weekend wandering, while Robert Gray Middle School and Rieke Elementary sit within easy reach for families. Stock the pantry at Market of Choice Hillsdale, then treat yourself to a well-earned pint at the beloved McMenamins just up the road. OHSU and downtown are a quick trip away, keeping work and play equally convenient.
