Welcome home to this delightful English-style cottage with period details and updates for modern living. Perfectly situated between Laurelhurst and North Tabor, it's just a half-mile walk to Laurelhurst Park. Owned for the first 94 years by one family, the original built-ins, 9' ceilings, and lovely oak floors on the main floor greet you, and natural light from the abundance of windows enhances the airy feel. A gas fireplace keeps you cozy all winter. The large, eat-in kitchen features 12' of counter space and easy-care luxury vinyl flooring. The main-floor bedroom with walk-in closet also works well as a home office, library or guest room. Upstairs, you'll find beautiful Doug fir floors and light-filled, oversized bedrooms with a surprising amount of storage. The primary bedroom features a full bath with double vanities, soaking tub, and access to a walk-in closet with pocket door. The upper half bath has room to expand into the adjacent attic space. In the wide-open basement, there are 5 windows, 7' ceilings and a functional shower. You'll also find a work bench and pantry room, as well as a large laundry table and storage shelves that stay with the home. The gorgeous backyard is fenced and gated for privacy, and features maple, oak, dogwood and cedar trees, as well as several Japanese maples. A neighbor's weeping birch shades the garage on the south side. Flowering shrubs include peony, fuchsia, rose, and hydrangea. A camellia hedge towers 20' tall behind the cedar fence in back. You will delight in the detached garage space, with its insulated walls, smooth floors and ample shelving. Windows and French doors keep it light and bright, while the covered terrace offers a shady spot to relax and enjoy the stunning seasonal blooms.
