This dusty blue Dutch Colonial in the Sellwood neighborhood tips her gabled hat and wants to know how you’re doing. (But really. How are you doing?) Cream columns welcome you to a 1930’s interior blushing with leaded glass built-ins, a woodburning fireplace with a tiled surround, and hardwood floors across an ample main level. Past a Deco arch and formal dining room, one will find a happy kitchen with eating nook (connected to a catio!) with new marmoleum flooring; then, a lavender mud room with shelving, a confident and convenient half bath, and an office or study with an entrance of its very own. Double pane windows keep a little of bustling SE Tacoma out while 1535 overall opens you to a 93 Walk Score, a 99 Bike Score, and the colorful plethora of what energized Sellwood can provide. (Old Portland Hardware, for instance, is calling any restorer’s name from just a few late Spring reveries away, but there’s innumerable shops, grocery stores, and more within reach.) Up a wide staircase flanked by a large hall closet lie three bedrooms, two of which are connected by a walk-in closet, as well as a newly floored full bath. Outside you’ll find a mostly fenced yard space, off street parking, and a detached garage overseen by a grand sycamore tree. Let’s not forget the sizeable basement waiting to be finished and finessed. Zoned CM2, this storage-heavy home eagerly awaits a steward and a resparking. (How about now? How are you doing?)
