There is a word in Swedish, "lagom," that means just right. Not too much, not too little. This Scandinavian inspired house gets it.The curb appeal pulls you in immediately. White shingle siding, a salmon door, tidy landscaping and the kind of front stoop where you end up chatting with neighbors longer than you planned. Inside, it is light and bright from every angle, with a flow that just makes sense.The kitchen is the star. GE Cafe 6-burner range anchored by an exposed brick stack. Farmhouse sink. Slab counters. Inset cabinets. Open shelving. It connects seamlessly to the dining area, which opens through French doors to a private brick patio beneath a Japanese maple. That indoor to outdoor run is really something on a Portland summer evening. The backyard is fully fenced, deeply private and just the right size to actually enjoy without it becoming a project. The living room is warm and generous with a gas fireplace and bench seating. A bright desk/piano area and full bathroom also sit on the main. Light wood floors throughout, wall sconces, no carpet anywhere. Upstairs, two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and rich Douglas Fir floors share a full bathroom with wallpaper that has real personality. The finished basement rounds things out with a third bedroom, half bath, family room and laundry. Attached garage too. You are in the south part of Eastmoreland, steps from Duniway Elementary and Berkeley Park. Woodstock is a weekend walk with Grand Central Bakery, New Seasons Market,
