A unique opportunity to own a home with a dynamic unobstructed riverfront view. After 20-plus years, the original owners reluctantly offer their much-loved home for sale as they move on to new adventures. Wake up & watch the early morning rowers and fishermen catching salmon during the fall, spring, and summer runs. Sea lions add to the dynamic wildlife drama right at your back door as they steal the salmon being caught. Relax and watch the sailboats, watercraft, and swimmers from a private front-row seat. Wind down, and relax in the evenings on the sun-drenched west-facing patio while watching the river float by. Soak up the tree-lined skyline as the sunset paints the sky aglow with red and orange hues. Enjoy the new Sellwood bridge, a work of art with meditative mood lighting that reflects in the waters of the Willamette. Enjoy the wildlife, watch & listen to the birds including the majestic bald eagles that change with the seasons, and bathe and frolic in the patio water feature. The resident falcon who rears her family in the protection of the Sellwood bridge struts lets you know when she has returned home, helping to mark the seasons as do the return of the swallows to the Sellwood bridge. Entertain while watching the Portland Spirit - beautifully lit at night - navigate the Willamette's waters and the Christmas ships in December - always a highlight and opportunity for a get-together. If walking is your thing, this home has excellent walkability close to the Springwater trail and bike path with a leisurely bike commute to downtown. The Sellwood dog park and dock provide endless fun, playing with your fur baby or fishing and swimming off the dock. Great Sellwood restaurants, New Seasons, QFC, coffee shops and cafes, a library, a safe friendly kids' playground, public swimming pool, and antique shops are all just a short walk away. This is what easy living in Sellwood looks like. Lock it up and leave for a vacation knowing the grounds will be taken care of.
