Have you heard about Maywood Park, the city within the city of Portland? With just over 300 homes, Maywood Park is a self-governing city that is a woodsy oasis with private, oversized lots. No exception is this cutie patootie on NE Alton Street with its lush, cottage-style exterior. Made almost entirely of windows, this home's interior is bright, open, and features endless midcentury charm. This house lives like a single-level home, the basement is just gravy! Inside, the living room welcomes you with hardwood floors, a cozy gas fireplace and abundant natural light. The open dining room connects to a sleek, updated kitchen featuring more wraparound windows with views of the quiet street (and the neighbor's Japanese maple in the fall). Fresh tile work, quartz countertops, the LG black stainless appliances , and ample storage space round out this freshly updated kitchen. Two spacious bedrooms both feature corner windows, while the main-floor bathroom will delight vintage lovers with its original pink tile floors/counters contrasting the updated corner tub. Downstairs, the large unfinished basement offers nearly limitless potential, complete with a second original fireplace. Backyard is lovingly landscaped with a mix of mature plantings and lush lawn space, as well as a tucked away fire pit area, perfect for s'mores under the enormous evergreen so mature and dense that you can seek shelter from the rain underneath. App controlled irrigation installed in the front and back yard. A one-car garage and shed round out the property, providing excellent storage. Updates? Too many to list, but the highlights include new wall and attic insulation, updated PEX interior plumbing, new 200 amp electrical service and panel, newer high efficiency heat pump cooling/heating, newer gas tankless water heater, and new Therma-Tru exterior doors and Milgard windows throughout (warrantied through 2032). You will kick yourself if you don't at least drive by!
