About This Home

As of April 2025

So much charm in this amazing home! You’ll love how warm and inviting each space feels. It’s the perfect combination of updates and well maintained original character. 2 bedrooms and the full bathroom are on the main level and you’ll find excellent potential with the attic square footage. The basement provides ample storage space plus the single car garage. The yard is spacious and fully fenced. There are beds full of gorgeous perennial flowers plus raised garden beds for your veggies. With a convenient location that makes it easy to walk downtown for dinner, take in the Columbia River view, or grab something from the store, it's also close to the schools and parks. You really can’t go wrong with this one!
