Welcome to Duchess, a 1939 English cottage with the kind of charm you can't fake: clinker brick, leaded glass, hand-carved woodwork, and a few surprises tucked behind the door. The craftsmanship has held up well. So has the house's ability to make room for real life.The kitchen has space for more than one cook, the breakfast nook handles coffee and homework, and the formal dining room is ready when dinner turns into a proper affair.

Two spacious bedrooms sit on the main with a dual-sink bath nearby, ensuring your morning routine can be navigated without royal diplomacy. The upstairs primary suite with attached bath is the crown jewel. Stretching the full length of the house, lofted and skylit, split into two rooms by French doors, with built-in shelving.

It's an easy place to lose track of time. Downstairs, extra living space makes hosting easy. Guests get their own entrance, a generous bedroom, full bath, and separate living room with clinker brick fireplace. Outside, the back deck is perfect for summer dinners, while the detached two car garage keeps bikes, tools, and projects out of the way.

Irrigation front and back takes the guesswork out of the yard. Landscape lighting carries the walkway into evening. A flowering cherry scatters pink blossoms over the back deck each spring. Japanese maples frame the front yard with color in fall. Set on a tree-lined street in Rose City Park, two blocks from golf course trails and an evening stroll to food carts at Baerlic Barley Pod.

Transit and bike lanes mean you can leave the car behind. Groceries at Trader Joe's. A movie at Hollywood Theatre. Farmers market on weekend mornings. Downtown and Gorge waterfalls are easy to reach. Built to last and even better in person. Come see! [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report
