Sweetheart cottage in Hood River's favorite neighborhood. Dream location with close proximity to school, parks, medical, Commercial Districts and Gorge recreation. Lots of updates to this Mid Century charmer. Hardiplank siding, Minisplit heat / AC, vinyl windows, contemporary electrical panel and other upgrades make for comfortable, efficient living. Original Oak hardwood floors, high ceilings and crown molding maintain the charm of the era, creating elegant, comfortable spaces. The efficient kitchen is a working classic, fresh and clean with open shelving and a wall-wide, south facing window overlooking the verdant front patio. A built-in eating bar seats four! The wonderfully private living room is bathed in light from generous windows. Spacious primary bedroom feels like a luxury for the era and is nicely separated from the second, comfortable bedroom. The bathroom is delightfully large, graciously accommodating the whole house! An attached garage offers room for toys, tools or a small car and hosts the included washer and dryer. Outside, the front patio is enveloped in lush plantings, creating a peaceful entry to the home and a private place to dine outdoors or relax. The west patio area has raised planting beds and a pea gravel patio offering additional outdoor living. A large parking pad could host your van, RV or boat. So much fun in such a terrific location and, thanks to C1 zoning, you can share it with others as a Short Term Rental! Enjoy it exclusively or monetize it as a second home... the choice is yours.
