Our home is within walking and short bike riding distance to boutique shops, grocery stores, restaurants and food cart pods. Book lovers: Powell's SE Portland location is a 10-minute bike ride away, all downhill. (Okay, so there is the ride home.) Reed College is three miles away, Portland State University and the OHSU South Waterfront campus are 25 minutes by bike. Need to get to Marquam Hill? Just catch the tram from the South Waterfront campus. Excellent elementary middle and high schools are conveniently located nearby. Our home was built in 1926 and was remodeled in 2007 by an architect-interior designer team who wanted a larger home for their family of four. Wood floors on the first floor, wool carpet on the second, lots of storage space, granite countertops and high-end finishes throughout. The home was featured in Oregon Home magazine in early 2007: http bit.ly/2kIGlDH. We've been happy and comfortable here and hope you will be too. Living room, dining room, kitchen breakfast eating nook, mud room, den (with twin sofa sleeper and built-in closet shelves) and full bathroom with clawfoot tub on the first floor, excellent for soaking while sipping a good Oregon Pinot Gris. Master bedroom with queen size bed window seat overlooking the backyard garden and two walk-in closets on the second floor. Also on the second floor: one bedroom with double size bed, one bedroom with twin bed, full bathroom, laundry room with washer and dryer. (Let me just say: upstairs laundry is a rarity in these old homes and hugely convenient.) House has been bolted to the concrete foundation to keep it from being displaced in the event of an earthquake.
