Classic Craftsman character meets modern livability in this 2003-reconstructed home, perched on an elevated corner lot near Genesee Park and Columbia City. The light-filled, easy-flowing main level offers bamboo floors and tall ceilings. Enjoy a generous living room, sunny dining area with coffee station, and freshly remodeled kitchen featuring stainless appliances, new slab counters and gas cooking. A flexible third bedroom includes a Murphy bed wall unit and a cleverly outfitted closet with built-in desk and shelving - ideal for work or guests. Upstairs, primary and secondary bedrooms flank a spacious bath with a peek at the city skyline and the mountains. The open, unfinished basement offers approximately 6'8" of finished ceiling height and exciting potential. The space is waterproofed with a brand new interior perimeter drainage system and sump pump. Architectural plans from 2017 envision a fourth bedroom, full bathroom, living area and utility center. Today, explore an AADU configuration for even more benefit. The back yard is fully fenced, level and light-filled with space to garden, plus a stone patio with globe lights for dining. Seven-year-young roof and newer gas furnace. One off-street parking space. It's a 15-minute walk to light rail and the lake. Less than a 10 minute walk to downtown Columbia City, soccer fields, the dog park and Rainier Community Center (playground! pickleball! fitness center!). Walkscore of 81. High bike and transit scores too. Pre-inspected.
