Property Description

Seller Offering toward rate buy-down. Charming 1950s ranch in sought-after Vancouver Heights, offering timeless character and a highly desirable single-level floor plan. This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features a primary suite with ensuite bath, a rare and valuable upgrade for homes of this era. Original hardwood floors add warmth and authenticity, while the wood-burning fireplace creates a cozy focal point in the living space. The layout flows effortlessly and includes a dedicated eating nook, ideal for casual meals and morning coffee. Situated on a corner lot, the property offers added privacy, excellent natural light, and expanded outdoor potential. The backyard alley access provides exceptional flexibility for boat or RV storage and enhances the property’s ADU potential (buyer to verify), making this a compelling option for future expansion or multi-generational living. Additional highlights include a rear carport, an established sprinkler system, and thoughtful system updates that bring peace of mind: kitchen appliances, hot water heater were new in 2018, all plumbing replaced with PEX in 2019, an electrical panel that is up to code, and a roof approximately 18 years old. Conveniently located with quick access to SR-14, I-205, and I-5, this home is ideal for commuters while still offering a quiet, neighborhood feel. A rare opportunity to own a classic ranch with solid bones, modern updates, and room to grow in one of Vancouver’s most established neighborhoods.
