OPEN This Saturday, 12-24-2011, next Saturday and Sunday, 12-31-2011 and 1-1-2012 from 1-3 Like a French Country Cottage on the edge of the woods- this early century Craftsman Bungalow has been restored to it's original beauty- keeping all the charm and character intact! As you walk down the brick path from the street, you pass wooden doorways in brick walls-it feels almost like you are in a little country village in France or England- yet you are just above downtown Portland in one of it's most sought after neighborhoods- that include several million dollar homes! The p... Neighborhood Description This has always been one of my very favorite neighborhoods in Portland. It's quaint picturesque streets winding up from downtown, past old historic homes, some of them worth over a million, others eclectic, quirky cottages poised at the edge of the street! As soon as you enter the neighborhood, you feel like you have stepped into the European Countryside-that a kerchiefed milkmaid or boy shepherd could step out into the winding street - or a horse and buggy could saunter by! It is a hidden neighborhood that not many people visit- yet so close to downtown, you could walk! There are light filled forests all around with trails that lead into forest park or Washington Park! It is a magical place where it seems like life must be more simple, old fashioned, slower paced! Not part of a thriving diverse, growing city like Portland! I have found myself on this street as I drive through the upper hills of Portland, and never fail to feel the magic- I want to just stop and soak it all up! The schools are some of the most desirable in Portland-Ainsworth Grade School, Sylvan Middle School and Lincoln High. Many of the people have grown up in this neighborhood and manage to stay and raise their children here too!
