SMART! SMART! SMART!  Its not very often I think this when looking at infill new construction built on a skinny lot. Palazzo homes figured it out finally- how to build a functional new home that blends well with the existing neighborhood. The homes from the outside look like classic bungalows. One level homes with full basements. The trick is that the full basements are constructed with a clever floor plan that offer an extra bedroom, full bath, laundry, kitchen and separate entrance making them either a separate rental unit or open to the house an extra family room with all the extras. This NE Portland duplex has a great floor plan for roommates, older kids, renter or modern changing lives.

Our buyers JR and Kelly are a hip couple who have recently relocated with their two pooches from the bay area. JR works in special education and Kelly does job training for at-risk youth. They have also been dedicated long term mentors. Their busy lives meant they needed something in a convenient location that would be easy to maintain. The separate ADU (accessory dwelling unit) in the basement they plan to use to host their famous Friday night movie parties and hosting family and friends. Long term they may move on and this house will be a legal duplex that will provide extra income.

Sold at $289,900. Good investment. Smart infill design. Its a win win!

Welcome to the neighborhood!
