Retreat to this peaceful farmhouse in the popular Maplewood neighborhood, sitting off the beaten path on a double lot which has been organically gardened for 28 years, and thoughtfully designed to provide entertaining spaces, plentiful food gardens, and habitat for the native species in the area. The formal rooms enjoy views and light from the yard, giving you the sense of the surrounding trees and garden all year round while cozy and comfy inside. The home itself has been lovingly maintained and restored over the years with the utmost attention to detail and quality, keeping in mind that it is one of the original homesteads in the area. Updated wiring, plumbing, siding, windows, upstairs bathroom, kitchen, and heating and cooling mean you can enjoy a vintage home without sacrificing modern conveniences. The flexible floor plan has bedrooms and baths on both floors, as well as an office on the main floor, and a large light-filled family room in addition to the traditional living room. The tastefully renovated cook’s kitchen features custom floor-to-ceiling cabinets that optimize the space, and a mudroom/sunroom which connects directly to the yard, herb and vegetable gardens. It’s located just blocks to April Hill Park, Maplewood Elementary School and neighborhood coffee shop and a short drive (or bike ride) to Multnomah Village, Southwest Community Center, Gabriel Park, Hillsdale Shopping area, farmer’s market, and library. This is a unique opportunity to live in a quiet setting with great access to city amenities. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10235513]
