About this home

On a quiet street between serene Ravenna-Cowen Park & the bustling U-District sits this charming 4 bed 2 bath home, featuring a rare additional 1 bed 1 bath townhome-style ADU tucked behind the main residence. With no interior connection and entry from the back patio, you get ultimate privacy & zero noise transfer. The ADU is currently rented to a great tenant for $1,695/mo, making this a flexible HouseHack or multigenerational living opportunity right out of the gate! Walk through the elevated front porch into an open floorplan great room with light & bright living/dining areas & a large kitchen featuring a peninsula breakfast bar, gas range, quartz counters, & matte stainless appliances. Two large bedrooms & a bath round out the upstairs. Downstairs offers 2 more bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry, & a bonus family room. The main home will be vacant at closing.
