Thanks to our fantastic art scout Bridgett Larabee, this month we are featuring a show by artists from ART FROM THE HEART.  What is Art From the Heart?  Well, besides being one of our favorite shows so far, here is the run down: ART FROM THE HEART is a teaching and working studio that provides an employment alternative for adults with development disabilities.  It also doubles as a fantastic & fun gallery open to the public.  The goal of the center is to foster each artist’s personal creative energy and cultivate an outlet for community connection and contribution for people of all abilities.  The artists that participate with ART FROM THE HEART attend classes for a minimum of two days a week that range from painting to book making to doll creation and everything in between.  Our show featuring paintings, ceramics and dolls will be up through the end of September; come on by and and be prepare to be blown away by the overwhelming talent and passion!

On the market only a week, my buyer trusted his instincts when touring this home. “This feels good” he said. Coincidentally, we disovered this townhome was built by the same builder of another listing he fell for a month earlier, but lost to a cash buyer.

He knows what he likes, and his tastes are refined.

This 3-story, 2 bed/2.5 bath + den townhome in the heart of Belmont is only 3 years new, has high quality finishes, and does just “feel good”. Its warm interior textures, fireplace, and big sky views will be perfect for settling in with a good book on a cold day. And yet, the hip location draws you out to the Portland scene of Stumptown Coffee, music at the Blue Monk, or a mushroom burger at Paradox.

For a cyclist, Belmont also offers a sense of being in the center of all Portland’s great neighborhoods. All my client needs to do now is put up the garage door, roll up a pantleg, and whisk himself away for a few hours… with the joy of knowing the real luxury will be returning to his new home.
