Some homes simply make life easier, and this one starts the moment you pull in. A rare find: an oversized driveway with room for larger vehicles, boat or RV parking, and convenient turnaround space for a forward-facing exit onto 82nd Avenue. Fresh interior and exterior paint, new light fixtures, new blinds, a new garage door and a 2015 roof mean less to worry about and a bright, clean feel throughout. Original hardwoods, French doors and a wood-burning fireplace bring the warmth. The living room, dining room, two bedrooms and full bath all sit on the main level, keeping daily life simple. Downstairs, generous head clearance and a separate entrance through the garage open up real possibilities. A lower-level bedroom makes an ideal guest room or home office, while the family room is perfect for movie nights and game days. Take advantage of the extra storage space for dry goods, new canning hobbies or your own personal wine cellar. With the washer and dryer centrally located in the garage, the lower level has the potential to one day earn its keep. Out back is where the home exhales. A covered patio invites morning coffee, summer dinners and rainy-day reading all year long, mature landscaping wraps the fully fenced yard in privacy, and a large tool shed keeps the gear tucked away. Frequent transit at your door, the Parkrose/Sumner MAX Red Line nearby and quick trips to PDX, I-84 and I-205 make getting anywhere easy.
