A Timeless Craftsman Vernacular with Modern Comforts
FOR SALE @ $369,900: Craftsman PLUS @ 501 NE Rosa Parks Way, Portland, OR 97211
At 6’8″ I’m not comfortable in every home. This home gives a sense of comfort on a number of levels. As an Earth Advantage and Energy Star certified home, it’s built to be at least 15% more energy efficient than conventional construction. That can amount to some added comfort in the home, but I was impressed by the comfort I felt due to the finishes and the scale of the home. Both the main floor and the upper level high ceilings, great window proportions, and a spaciousness that I don’t normally feel in homes. With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, it can comfortably adapt to many different lifestyles. I feel another sense of comfort and peace of mind, knowing that there’s a 50-year recycled-content concrete tile roof and beautiful reclaimed hardwood flooring that looks and feels like new wood (without having tap into our current old-growth forests). Lastly, as an urban infill home, there is great comfort in being so close to so many of the great amenities of Portland. Moments to Alberta Arts District or the Mississippi Corridor, and quick ride to downtown, this location has a lot to offer–namely quality of life. Developed by Bridgecity Group, and listed with Adam Rust of Destination Realty, this home is currently on the market for $369,900. Email me for more details, or to schedule a visit. There is a lot more to say about this home, and it would be my pleasure to elaborate.

A New Alternative for North Portland: Daybreak Cohousing
Daybreak Cohousing in Portland, OR
A new alternative to what? The old standbys for housing include single-family homes, condos, townhouses, plexes, and apartments, Daybreak is something different–in a refreshing, thoughtful, and exciting way. Daybreak Cohousing is a 30-unit cohousing development in North Portland’s Overlook neighborhood. Units are sold as condos, but the common elements are far from common. As a cohousing community, there is a heightened attention given to communal elements–whether it’s the 7,000sf common house, dining hall, commercial kitchen, hot tub, hobby room, guest room, kids play room, or the media room. This is just to name a few of the shared amenities at Daybreak. Beyond the structural common elements, there is an opportunity for shared meals, shared values, community decision making, and community support.
“Knowing our neighbors, feeling like we belong, being a part of something that we care about and that cares about us…” (quoted from The Cohousing Handbook: Building a Place for Community)
For more information on this thoughtful, paradigm-shifting development, here are some resources to sink your teeth into. If you’re interested in taking a closer look at Daybreak, look into their social calendar for the next opportunity.Portland Area Cohousing Options
