Purchased in 2006 for $314,900 this adorable bungalow is brand new on the market for $284,900!  It is super duper cute with an intact vintage kitchen, working fire place, formal living and dining rooms and amazing upstairs master bedroom/creative artist space.  Before even realizing this house had an upstairs I was loving it.   Needless to say when I opened up a door that appeared to be a closet and wondered up to a spacious 400 SQFT space lit by vintage windows I was sold.  The vintage tile work in the bathroom matches the hex tiling of the kitchen and with its original beauty makes the house rich with character.

7315 N Kerby located in the sought after Piedmont location is a gem of a home.  It has a lovely backyard as well as a full unfinished basement.  Total SQFT comes to 1964.  This home will move quickly, call us to see it before its gone!  Thinking of a rental?  The current tenant pays $1700 a month!

Some homes you walk into and can imagine moving right in.  This is one of them.  Its not over the top in any way but with 3 bedrooms upstairs, another one on the main level, a killer front porch, high ceilings, hardwoods, a full basement and peninsula rose garden park right around the corner it would be an easy place to call home.  Plus, this home boasts rare dual staircases which is always fun!  Tag, your it!

With 2898 finished (!) SQFT and boasting 4 bedrooms and 2 baths this house has the craftsman charm Portlanders love in an ideal urban location!  Everything has been updated with nothing left to do.  Move right in, start walking to the co-op & being a regular at tin shed.  Own a car or need bike storage? This house has a garage!

4816 NE 15th is listed by Noel Jackson on the Hasson Company for $339,000.  It would make a wonderful family home.
