With a little over 600 finished square feet this 2 bedroom house would be perfect for a single person or a rental; and with a location just blocks from a Max stop and New Seasons this house has our attention for sure. The house needs cosmetic fixing but with the limited space, one could choose all their favorite finishes while likely saying under budget. The Arbor Lodge neighborhood is on the rise for sure in NOPO and with all of the industry happening on Interstate this house is in a hot spot for continued growth. Plus, there is an unfinished basement that when cleaned up would make an ideal area for an artist space or storage. 600 square feet is about the smallest house you will find but when it has original character still intact, a good open floor plan and a killer location it is worth a gander…especially when the price is $218,500.

This property is listed by Jenny Cole of Realty Trust. 6816 N Villard Ave. ML#8101398  Give us a call to see it!

A girl can dream can’t she? For just a hair under 2 million this 6 bedroom 5 bath 7469 sq. ft.  house on .68 acres complete with tennis courts smack dab in the middle of urban NE Portland can be yours. This is the second time its been on the market in the past few years and the current owners have done all the right updates while leaving the perfect period tile and architectural details in tact. I am a huge fan of good tile and I love the jewel tone tiles of the 50′s throughout the house. Its very classic Hollywood, I imagine Katherine Hepburn applying perfume from a crystal tray in the master bath. I had to include this posting because I seldom see a home in this price range that’s worth it. I could never actually justify the energy costs of living in such a large home and the $14,ooo a year property taxes alone would turn my hair white. Lance Marrs and Brian Faherty of the Hasson company have the home listed at 2208 NE 28th.

I cant believe this house is still available! After the gas price spikes and changing economy I was sure someone would snatch his amazing self sufficient home up. If you want to live in one of the most efficient green homes built in Portland this is your chance. The LEED certified home has an advanced water catchment system, geo-thermal heat, and was built to such high insulation and efficiency standards the whole house runs on as much electricity as your fridge. The house through the use of solar can achieve  net zero utility use.  It’s built from locally sourced, sustainably harvested, fair-traded lumber. A tree removed from the property became gorgeous treads for the stairs. The builders, who live next door in a similar house they built for themselves thought of everything.  They even left a large studio above the garage that’s ready to finish depending on your family needs. They use theirs as a small apartment to supplement income but a buyer could add a master suite, a home office or an in laws quarters. Touring this house is totally inspiring. The location doesn’t get much better either, walking distance to Market of Choice grocery on Terwilliger, Lewis and Clark College, Tryon Creek Stat park. Great schools and 6-8  minutes to downtown Portland. David Todd from Roots Realty is the listing agent. Currently for sale at $749,000 this home is a great value when you factor the life time benefits of the self sufficient energy systems. 4bed, 2ba, 2600 sq. feet, .23 acre lot with double garage. We would love to show you this house and explore more of the amazing green features.

Close to Lewis and Clark college, PCC, and easy access to Macadam or I-5. Great schools; Stephenson elementary, Jackson Middle and Wilson High. New mechanicals, new roof, new high efficiency furnace, and more. Going on the market in February.

I love the feel of this house. The views and light from the windows are all very pleasant and calming. Its open without feeling exposed and the blend of original details with the modern updates compliment each other nicely. I could see living here and using the large family room downstairs as a guest suite or mother in law quarters. It would also make a nice master. The bedrooms upstairs all have vaulted ceilings and beautiful light. The layout of the bedrooms is ideal to me as a mother with 2 young children. Not to mention the endless walking trails and close proximity to three of SW Portland’s nicest parks. New Seasons grocery is only a few minutes drive and the library is a pleasant walk along the trail system. Great house and gorgeous neighborhood.
