About this home
Single-level living meets endless backyard possibilities in this classic 3-bedroom ranch, set on a rare double lot in the heart of Foster-Powell. The outdoor space is ready for every season—garden beds, summer barbecues, or a casual cornhole showdown on the lawn. A covered patio extends right off the kitchen, making indoor-outdoor living easy.Inside, the layout offers convenience and comfort, with flexible spaces you can shape to your needs. What really stands out is the location: Essex Park (SE 79th & Center) is just up the street with splash pad, courts, playground, and seasonal events. Kern Park adds even more green space nearby. Creston Pool and Mt. Scott Community Center (currently being renovated with expanded aquatics and recreation) bring year-round fitness and fun. The rebuilt Holgate Library offers modern design and expanded resources. The Foster Corridor is home to neighborhood favorites including An Xuyen Bakery, Atlas Pizza, Pizzeria Otto, and Bar Carlo.Beyond lifestyle perks, the double lot and zoning may also lend to development or dividing opportunities (buyer to do own due diligence). Whether you are looking for a move-in ready home with room to grow, or a property with long-term potential, this one offers so much living potential! [Home Energy Score = 3.
