There are multiple outdoor conversation and connection areas, including a picturesque pergola-covered deck, that provide the perfect vignettes for relaxing or entertaining. The front porch, accented with a chic designer tile, is an ideal spot for morning coffee and sunset conversations with mountain views. The sprawling front yard is home to an array of plants and fruit trees, including herbs, key lime, Meyer lemon, and ruby red grapefruit. The vast attic space holds potential for conversion and added value. The spacious detached two-car garage completes the property, currently used for storage and a workshop while still accommodating a vehicle. It also presents a great opportunity to create a flexible artist's space or ADU. This gorgeous, peaceful home has been thoughtfully adored and features numerous upgrades, including: copper plumbing, new roof, new HVAC, new double-paned thermal windows and restored original windows, tankless water heater, gas line to fireplace, fresh interior and exterior paint, sprinkler system, nest, keyless entry and alarm.

With a 95 walk score, you're steps from local mom and pop markets, shops, and restaurants. A short bike ride or drive up Lincoln takes you to an array of fun spots: coffee at Stumptown, gelato and handmade pasta at Ferrazzani's Italian Market, tacos from HomeState, and Kismet- slated to open soon.This home is truly a gem offering history, beauty and a sense of community in one remarkable package.
