About the Listing UNRE02 - AMSTASH

Set on a quiet stretch of N Fessenden St., this classic midcentury ranch and detached ADU balance original character, thoughtful updates, and the kind of flexibility that’s hard to find. Original oak hardwood floors, clean lines, and a large picture window fill the living spaces with warmth and natural light. The main home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 remodeled bathroom, along with meaningful system updates including a new furnace and A/C in 2022, updated water service line in 2020, tankless water heater installed in 2016, and fresh exterior paint in 2025. What truly sets this property apart is the fully permitted detached ADU, completed in 2021. Designed for versatility, the space features a kitchen, full bathroom, sleeping loft, and a built-in Murphy bed, ideal for guests, creative work, multigenerational living, or potential income-producing use. Outside, the Gold-certified Backyard Habitat has been intentionally cultivated with native plantings including snowberry, mock orange, California lilac, ferns, wetland grasses, huckleberry, currant, raspberry, blueberry, and fig, creating a lush, established setting that feels private, productive, and distinctly Northwest. Just minutes from New Seasons Market, Pómalo, Lombardo’s Pizzeria, and the Charles Jordan Community Center. [Home Energy Score = 7.
