A Lot of Potential
This lot has tremendous potential. One of the last vacant, buildable lots in the Kings Heights neighborhood of NW Portland, this sloped parcel could be the home of a masterpiece. A lot of the groundwork has been completed to make this lot buildable. Please contact me for more details.

Green Home Sampler–Earth Advantage, LEED, and Energy Star
Green homes. Whether it’s an Earth Advantage house, a LEED house, or an Energy Star house, they’ve made their way safely into our market, despite the overall slow down in new construction. According to the market report released by our local 3rd party certifier, Earth Advantage, they account for roughly 23% of the new housing stock being built and sold, and their fetching a premium. Here’s a healthy sampling of what’s currently on the market in Portland. There are more, but this gives you a clear sense of the price range and type of homes being built. If you’d like to see one of these first-hand, give me a call, and we’ll set that up. I’m happy to walk you through one of these to see what they have to offer. As of today, there are 73 active green-certified homes to consider within Portland. Contact me to receive updates on homes like these, or to set a guided tour.
Green Certified Homes
The Portland Bungalow Alternative. . .
It’s not uncommon to see homes listed as “condo alternatives,” but what do you say about condos that have timeless characteristics that harken back to the craftsmanship and warmth of the classic Northwest Bungalow. This condo includes a lush, mature courtyard landscape, original moldings, wood floors, pedestal sink, clawfoot tub, and a covered front porch–sounds like a “Bungalow Alternative” for those who love the vintage character, but don’t want the upkeep of a home.
See for yourself. Call your agent, and set up a tour. Or, contact me to learn more about how this condo–HOA questions, energy efficiency upgrades, local amenities, etc. I’m happy to be a resource. Enjoy the walkable neighborhood shops, restaurants, library, grocery stores, co-op, and parks (including Forest Park and Washington Park).
