This well-appointed NW Portland retreat is peaceful and private, yet close to everything! Step into a warm and inviting open living room / kitchen / dining area, with fireplace and east-facing views. Sliding doors lead to a wonderfully private, fenced backyard with mature landscaping and a cozy covered seating area. Watch Mt. St. Helens change with the seasons from the living room and covered front porch. The detached, oversized two-car garage is topped with a 240sf studio / office / guest-room space with excellent potential to expand. Very close to Macleay Park, Forest Park trails, and the entire range of NW Portland amenities. Overall, a great entry point into one of Portland's most desirable neighborhoods.
