Linger for a While . . . We Think You’ll Like it Here.

FOR SALE: 2006 SE 32nd Place, Portland, OR 97214, listed @ $393,900

 

As you cherry pick for the sweetest spots on the eastside, this is one of them–a stone’s throw from Sewallcrest Park, Hawthorne, and Division, yet buffered in the slowed-down quiet of a well-loved Southeast pocket. In classic bungalow fashion, this home boasts a broad front porch, a prominent fireplace, dining room built-ins, and well-articulated moldings. To improve upon the past, the master suite inlcudes a tiled shower and soaking tub. There’s also a skylit bonus room that could be anything from a yoga space, a studio, an office, or a nursery. The kitchen has also been updated with slate tiled floors, tiled counters, and a massive butcher-block island. At its core, this is a 3 bed, 2 bath home with bonus upstairs, sunporch off the back, and full unfinished basement. Situated on this versatile corner lot, there are beds for edible gardening, a patio for BBQs, and a fenced area for privacy and pets.

As you do your homework, you’ll find that this is one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Portland and the schools are wonderful–Abernethy Elementary, Hosford Middle, and Cleveland High. It’s a trick to find a location like this, with so many amenities while still feeling buffered and calm. Contact me for more details or to schedule a visit.

Extremely Rare Real Estate: 1885 Victorian for Modern Living

FOR SALE: Sellwood Victorian at 1326 SE Tenino Street, listed @ $585,000

Nestled in the imminently walkable Sellwood neighborhood, this home combines the ethics of restoration and historic preservation with modern sensibilities of an open, multi-functional kitchen, bathrooms on each floor, and generous living spaces. This property provides the warm welcome of the wraparound porch for meeting with neighbors in the front and the privacy of a fenced and landscaped yard in the back. Oversized garage and basement provide already functional bonus spaces while also offering potential to accommodate your own future dream project. This location provides all the amenities of a self-sufficient, well-appointed village while sitting minutes from downtown. This is the complete modern home in one of the most timeless forms—the Victorian Painted Lady.

I highly recommend a tour. For more information, or to schedule a visit, contact David Todd.

For a glimpse at what this location has to offer, take a moment to look at this slide show of Sellwood.
