Many charming features stem from the 1948 original build, including beautifully refinished fir floors in the bedrooms. Fir flooring under the living room carpet awaits refinishing to match. There is wainscoting in the country kitchen, which calls back to that earlier time. Yet the workspace in the kitchen has been remodeled for modern ease, with cherry cabinetry, tile counters and stainless steel appliances. One side of the kitchen and dining area is lined with pantry cabinets, so storage abounds. Baths have been brought up to date, as well, for comfort and convenience. There have been several important modernization efforts, including complete rewiring of the house, a new 200 amp electrical panel, french drains, a sump pump, and added insulation.
The detached garage has great flexibility, with an automatic garage door at the front and full-sized doors on the back, allowing vehicles to pass through to the yard. Should access be needed to the yard for installation of a pool, building of a new structure or play equipment, or for a ride-on mower, the option is available. Within the garage structure is an upper loft, with a window facing the street, which could be used for storage, a playroom, an office, art studio, or perhaps guest quarters. Below the stairs in the garage is plenty of room for a workshop, with a built-in 8 foot workbench and attached vises.
Incredible potential exists given the size of the parcel and the depth of the yard. Play soccer or volleyball, host family barbeques, plant an edible garden, or just sit on the Port Orford Cedar deck and watch the stars overhead. The lot is adjacent to the golf course, but the golfers are at a distance, so privacy is not an issue. Fitch Mountain appears in the eastern view, too, so the overall feeling is one of space and expansiveness. A delightful home in a great neighborhood, come take a look!
