2503 SE Yamhill - City Living and Coffee Enjoyment

April 20th, 2012 by Laura Wood

I have gotten particular about my city living. What’s the fun in walking to coffee if you have to deal with city noise and city craziness while you’re home? I have solved my own problem. This house is in the middle of it all – walk to coffee, restaurants….my goodness, you could walk downtown if you wanted. Then come home to the beautifully designed gardens and hang out in your own little paradise. There’s a birds’ nest where the birds return yearly and teach their fledglings to fly in the backyard. Squirrels will eat out of your hand and the sun always shines…this weekend anyway. This is my favorite type of bungalow- low slung with a full front porch (complete with swing), big, symmetrical windows that let in lots of light, hardwood floors, fireplace with built-ins, spacious living room and a separate dining room. There are two bedrooms on the main and two adorable slanty-ceiling bedrooms upstairs, plus a big bonus room upstairs. Classic Portland 1920s Bungalow. Stop for a cup of coffee and then come on over the open house – there’ll be cupcakes.

Success! Modern, stylish, sold

April 9th, 2012 by Tim Pitts

The Kloss / Franz / Hess family has been investing in Portland real estate for a while now. They first bought a fourplex in the Mississippi area, which they have been gradually improving to maximize the cash flow. They decided it was time to put their design and construction skills to even greater use by rehabbing an entire house. This led them to purchase this fixer in Northeast Portland. It was a solid 1940′s ranch, but was pretty rough inside, and needed all new cosmetics and other updates.

They spent a few months rehabbing the house. A new tear-off roof, high-efficiency furnace, water heater, and updates to the plumbing and electrical all went in behind the scenes. Then, they added new interior and exterior paint, new hardwood floors, new kitchen, new bathroom…basically made it into a new house. They made deliberate choices and took their time with the work, really thinking through every detail. The result was a bright, modern home.

After a few weeks on the market, we found the perfect buyer. He moved in yesterday and loves his new home.

My clients have much to be proud of. Many people try a big endeavor like this and get overwhelmed, over budget, and off of their timeline. To succeed on your first attempt is truly remarkable. Sold for $231,000.

The Key to Happiness

My clients wanted small (how refreshing!), wanted room to garden, room for the pets and a close in neighborhood. What they forgot to mention was they really wanted cute. When we looked I noticed small and cute kept trumping other things on the list…in the beginning those things were too important to skip but I kept small and cute in mind. When we found this little beauty all the pieces fell in place – spacious living area, separate dining room, two bedrooms, remodeled kitchen, loads of potential in the basement, great yard and a garage. And then the cute: custom made door, fabulous light fixtures, fireplace, tin ceiling in the bathroom and full scale garden plans already drawn up for the backyard. There are even two doors for two welcome mats – one for Kansas, one for Kentucky. Welcome home (that’s their key they’re holding in the picture…get it?)

Private and Serene in the West Hills

April 2nd, 2012 by Hope Beraka

There is no doubt that the forest is what calls, and keeps, many of us in Oregon. One thousand shades of green and the best air quality of any metropolitan area I’ve been to. It’s inspiring, really, to see those giants around us and a great way to keep the stress of city life in perspective. So what could be better than to come home every day to a house on the top of a hill, across from protected forest land, bordering Hoyt Arboretum with two decks in the trees to enjoy the vista?

Now what if that home granted luxuries such as Kempas hardwoods, tremendous natural light with windows situated to maximize privacy, gourmet kitchen, home theatre room with 7.1 surround sound, whole house sound system and a seriously decadent master suite? Yep, it is as good as it sounds. Private and serene yet only two miles to the Pearl District, West End and Powell’s Books.

A forest oasis with three levels of living, modern floor plan and designer touches throughout. Welcome home.

611 SW Arboretum Circle, Portland, Oregon 97221

Three Bedrooms | Two and a Half Baths | 3832 finished sq ft | 4294 total sq ft

Offered at $675,000
