Million Dollar Deals

July 28th, 2010 by Jenelle

If you have a million dollars to spend in the Portland housing market you can get an amazing deal right now. This is the softest part of the market. You get 3 to 4 times the house compared to a half million dollar home. I have had the thought more than once you could easily share one of these homes with a friend or relative if a million is out of the budget. These neighborhoods aren’t usually what comes to mind when you think of co-housing but I like to get creative when thinking how more people could take advantage of some truly amazing deals. Here are some prime examples of homes in each quadrant of the city that seem like a steal!

2208 NE 28th

Gorgeous English at 2208 NE 28th listed at $1,095,000. This home is my favorite classic house in NE Portland. Its a gracious floor plan with amazing original tile work in the bathrooms, a perfect kitchen thats open and light. The location is devine, 6875 square feet 6 bedroom 3.5 baths, art deco details that will make you feel like a vintage Hollywood scarlet as you glide down the stairs. Listed with Billy Grippo of Windermere.

2134 SE Elliot. This home is inside what many in Portland would consider Portland’s best urban neighborhood, Ladd’s Addition. In fact I think it has been recently voted that in a national poll. Tree lined street with antique Elms a mile from downtown Portland. The home is stunning, you can save money on gas for your commute, in fact you should hardly ever have want of a car for anything here. Listed with Morgan C. Davis of Keller Williams for $1,195,000. 5659 square feet 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths with 2 half baths.
