U of P mid-century

As far as neighborhoods go University Park is Portland’s best kept east-side secret. Beautiful parks, gorgeous houses, and more value for the dollar, than anywhere else as beautiful and close in to the city. This house went on today and surely will be gone tomorrow. Owned by one of our favorite Portland Realtors, Rachel Freed, who knows how to love a ranch right. The stylish restoration was done with the most sensitive of care to the period and flavor of the home. The rainbow limestone fireplace with brilliant turquoise accents against the pink variated rock sets the mood as you walk into the entry. New oak floors, high end appliances, boomerang counter tops in the kitchen and bath, and marmoleum floors are all added with care and skill to add not detract from the original home with the perfectly restored wood soffits, trim, doors, and built-ins through out. I found myself glassy eyed running my hands over the wood work more than once. I remember uttering the word perfect a few times as well before my jaw dropped as I set foot outside and saw the real WOW feature. A kick ass shop out back with a half bath. This studio is any architect, woodworkers, artisan or mechanics dream. The home is dialed so you wont have to tinker on a thing in the house leaving you hours to diddle on your other passions. The current homeowner had a few soap box derby cars stored in the rafters so I know its not been all work and no play. Screaming deal at $409,000 listed with Irene Contakos of Keller Williams. 4 bedroom, 3bath and over 3000+ square feet on a double lot walking distance to U of P. If you see this in time, call me and lets go check it out!
