This 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home is the perfect sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by a natural setting of just under an acre of land, the yard is specifically designed as a refuge for birds, bees, and other pollinators. Wildflowers, herbs, and long grasses attract a variety of wildlife and the fertile soils provide space for vegetable and perineal gardens. Inside you'll find a recently refreshed eat-in kitchen with butcher block counters, stainless appliances, and a tile backsplash. A separate dining room off of the kitchen makes for a great entertaining space for meals or game night with friends and family. The large living room is bright and airy with a woodstove hookup. Upstairs you'll find 2 bedrooms with a full bath and a large primary suite with a sitting room, lots of storage, a private balcony, and a full bathroom. Solar panels, heat pumps, and an EV charger were added to the home in recent years. Just across the bridge from Portland the location is ideally suited to all the area has to offer. Walk or bike to the community center, Broadway, or Millcreek shopping. The homes roof has aged to the end of its lifespan but the seller will be replacing the roof at closing with a suitable offer. Open house Sunday, May 3rd from Noon to 2 pm.
