This charming home and garden was built in 1932 and has since been expanded twice. An idyllic 4 bedroom 2.5 bathroom house built on an extra large lot of .46 acres with an adjacent 2nd lot of .27 acres, all sold as one. Nestled off the road and above Kellogg Creek, the living space is surrounded by trees, year-round flowering cutting gardens, and a contained bamboo grove. The home's elegance includes exquisite SW-facing leaded glass windows, hardwood flooring, arched wall openings, cove ceilings, picture rails, and original glass door knobs. The property features an abundance of storage and bonus spaces. The detached, updated garage with an adjoining multi-window greenhouse provides workspace aplenty. The vaulted-ceiling family room (1958) and additional primary suite with a second kitchen and second private entrance (1995) enhance the comfort and provide possible multi-generational living spaces. 2024 added a new water electric heater, new east-wing roof, and chimney tuckpointing. Windows highlight greenery, privacy, and spellbinding creek views (and sounds). Decks, patios, and fenced gardens with raised beds beckon you outside. In Clackamas County, just 8 miles from downtown Portland and 1.5 miles to Light Rail, this country-like charmer includes mature landscaping, berries, and apple trees, and is frequented by ducks, deer, hawks, herons, and songbirds. Kellogg Creek flows year-round and will again include salmon and steelhead. Magical!
