The style and durability of a midcentury ranch on a sprawling lot in a friendly neighborhood sounds pretty great, huh? We're here to tell you that it is. Practical horseshoe-shape floor plan creates a noise buffer that's a gift to light sleepers. Smart design invites optimal natural light, illuminating this home to show off her natural beauty. A large wood burning fireplace with hearth delivers A+ coziness, and who doesn't love big windows and blonde hardwood floors? Three bedrooms and a full bath complete this section of the home. The beautiful, updated galley kitchen is bright and spacious, with loads of cabinet and counter space, and an easy flow. It connects both sides of the house, and has a cheery little dining area to boot. A bonus living area with all of the utility is neatly contained here, with a half bath and laundry tucked away, and there's sliding doors leading out to a back patio - easily transport meals from the kitchen to the deck for al fresco dining. Many recent mechanical updates, including newer water heater and roof. All of this on an uncommonly large lot, providing country living feels in a convenient location right off Division St., and close to the stunning views, trails, and sunsets of Powell Butte, a popular hiking spot for people and pups alike. Schools, shops, parks, and more are also nearby, with commute thoroughfares in all directions. This is a solid, stylish home that's 100% dialed-in - but with fantastic urban homestead potential - in a sweet and sleepy SE Portland community. [Home Energy Score = 4.
