Tucked behind a tall laurel hedge on a quiet quarter acre in Garden Home, this freshly painted ranch blends classic 1948 character with major recent updates. Hardwood floors run through the light-filled living and dining rooms, where a wood-burning fireplace sits between built-in shelves. The kitchen is its own dedicated room with a gas range, subway tile, and a picture window over the sink, and two bedrooms, an updated bath, and a large laundry room with sink and storage round out the interior.The backyard is the heart of this property. A spacious deck built for grilling and entertaining steps down to a fully fenced yard with a stone fire pit, mature fruit trees including apple, pear, plum, fig, and quince, plus raspberries, a grape arbor, established peonies, and a native garden with its own owl box. Tall trees and new cedar fencing keep the whole space feeling private, and a matching storage shed handles the tools.The big-ticket items are already done: a new 25-year roof with transferable warranty (2024), a high-efficiency Daikin heat pump with central air and backup furnace (2023), fresh exterior paint, and new cedar fencing. There is parking for three cars on the property in addition to the garage.All of it sits minutes from everyday retail including Trader Joe’s, with Multnomah Village, Washington Square, and Uwajimaya close by, and Fanno Creek Trail access right from the neighborhood.
