6726 NE Hancock St, Portland, OR 97213

The Binford is a classic Portland complex, designed by a woman architect and built in 1946, a time when good craftsmanship meant something. It is well known among Portland architects and landscape architects for its glorious courtyard and well-designed living spaces. The courtyard is truly amazing -- professionally maintained lawns with 100-year-old fir trees, flowering cherry and crabapple trees to brighten your springtime, and birds to sing you awake in the morning. The courtyard is open to all residents and their guests but can only be accessed through someone's apartment, so very private and safe. The Binford buildings are in the townhouse style, with bedrooms and bathroom upstairs and kitchen and living areas downstairs--no one walking over your head. The interior features beautiful hardwood floors (red oak) throughout, large floor-to-ceiling windows, ceiling fans in every room, and closets you won't believe (female architect, remember). Kitchen has all the standard appliances, including a new stove, plus microwave and dishwasher. The main living area is one large room, with an obvious delineation between the dining area and the living room area. Just outside the living room is your own private patio, opening to the wonderful courtyard. Super-convenient location, close to the Banfield, lovely city park and golf course, to shopping and restaurants, and NE Portland's newest food cart pod. This apartment was once my own home, and I am dedicated to maintaining it in top condition. Month-to-month rental, with 30-day move-out notice required.
