Idyllic, classic Normandy Cottage, combines extraordinary charm and modernity. This 4 bedroom 2.5 bathroom home was built in 1932 and expanded twice. Possible multi-generational living spaces. The house is built on an extra large lot with an adjacent lot all sold as one.Nestled off the road and alongside Kellogg Creek, it is surrounded by trees, year-round cutting gardens, and a contained bamboo grove. The home's elegance starts with exquisite SW-facing leaded glass windows, hardwood flooring, arched wall openings, cove ceilings, picture rails, and original glass-knobbed doors?lots of storage and bonus spaces. The vaulted-ceiling family room (added in 1958) and additional primary suite with a second kitchen & second private entrance (added in 1995) enhance the comfort. Windows offer greenery, privacy & spellbinding creek views (and sounds). The detached, updated garage with an adjoining multi-window greenhouse provides workspace aplenty. Decks, patios & 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 & apple trees, and is frequented by ducks, deer, hawks, herons, and songbirds. Kellogg Creek flows year-round and will again include salmon & steelhead. Magical!
