An ideal marriage of period charm, updated conveniences, and uninterrupted spaces, the flow of this idyllic, large-living 1947 Concordia Cape Cod invites long summertime gatherings with friends, abundant gardening, and cozy holidays by the fire. The cool and airy lower floor seamlessly adjoins a spacious deck and generous, wide-open back yard, making it a paradise for shaded entertaining, grilling, and sun-dappled yoga among the greenery. Cook with comfort and power in the modernized kitchen, whose new, stainless steel appliances feature a chef's high-output gas range, a powerful, low-decibel dishwasher, and a refrigerator with an automatic ice maker. The master bedroom stays cool all summer beneath the majestic canopy of a stately pink flowering dogwood, which also filters out early rays. A second bedroom on the first floor looks out over the verdant back yard, and could be an ideal home office. The two upstairs bedrooms, with full-height gable ceilings, share their own updated bathroom. This gem of a home features quality vintage details throughout, such as cedar shingle siding, level hardwood floors, coved ceilings, picture rail, brushed brass hardware, and a wood-burning fireplace. The roof and gutters have been carefully kept, and the siding was reconditioned and repainted last summer. The garage includes newer laundry machines, and plenty of rafter storage. Off of the upstairs bedrooms are three more easily-accessible attic storage locations.With two ever-expanding restaurant districts-18th & Dekum, and Woodlawn Triangle-just a few minutes walk away,this quietly-situated property has easy access to excellent dining. Stroll down for coffee and hearty pastries, or treat yourself to a move-in celebration of fresh, locally-sourced Italian fare and expertly-crafted cocktails. The nearby University of Oregon campus is a valuable addition to this historic neighborhood; the new Faubion school's large and expensively-outfitted modern playground is open to all.
