The 1st word that will come to intellect on stepping inside this 1951 household is perfectly-appointed, defined as “attractively outfitted for convenience and usefulness.” In truth, because obtaining the residence for by themselves in 2016, the sellers, a artistic couple who called the job their “love little one,” gave it a complete front-to-again, years-long rework, with no detail left unconsidered, and it all arrives together beautifully.

Positioned on a peaceful extend of SE 76^th Avenue just a shorter wander from the Montavilla business district, the household has a heat and welcoming open up prepare.
