The property features newer HVAC and AC as of 2024, a private back yard with a good-sized back deck made of Trex, plus a newer washer/dryer. A detached garage sits back in the lot, allowing for maximum enjoyment and use of the yard and outdoor spaces. With 1822 square feet, this home presents a strong opportunity for the next owner to invest in updates while securing that coveted Sellwood location.
