Timeless charm meets modern updates in this beautifully refreshed Milwaukie ranch! Situated on a spacious lot, this one-level home blends original character with thoughtful upgrades throughout. A traditional layout offers private spaces without sacrificing flow. The updated full bathroom (2022) brings fresh tile, flooring, lighting, and plumbing improvements. Just around the corner, the stylish kitchen (2022) features butcher block counters, subway tile, refinished cabinets, and newer appliances. Each part of the home is creating a welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining.

The oversized attached garage connects through a large laundry/mudroom, offering flexibility for parking, storage, or a workshop. Major system upgrades add comfort and peace of mind. Updates include a new vapor barrier, dehumidifier, and radon mitigation system (2024). The exterior was freshly painted in 2022, adding to the home’s polished curb appeal.

The yard spaces are the hidden gems, perfect for outdoor dining or play. Birch trees, rose bushes, a walnut tree, and raspberries create a peaceful and private setting. While the nearby railroad track is surprisingly quiet, creating a peaceful backdrop to everyday life.

Best of all the location truly shines: less than 1.5 miles to vibrant Old Town Milwaukie with its popular farmers market, restaurants, cafés, river access, and local events. Easy connections to Sellwood, Woodstock, and Clackamas Town Center put everything you need within reach.

Move-in ready and full of possibility — this home is the perfect backdrop for your next chapter!
