An Egg-citing New Nest in Southeast Portland

By Tracey Henkels, September 21, 2018

Jennifer and Paul knew one thing for sure; their future home needed to have a backyard big enough for their roommates to run around in. In fact, the couple were not-so-secretly hoping the house they fell in love with would have enough space to build a little house out back, just for Dolly and Adrienne. It’s not that they don’t like their roommates, or that they aren’t fun to be around. Quite the opposite. In fact, Jennifer and Paul love their roommates so much, they consider them family. The problem is, not only are they loud, but quite frankly, they stink. They always seemed to have a certain “Eau de Barn,” despite how clean they tried to keep themselves.

Much to Jennifer and Paul’s delight, they found exactly what they were looking for in the adorable Brentwood-Darlington neighborhood of Southeast Portland. A sweet, spacious Ranch with a beautifully updated interior, vaulted ceilings, and best of all, 0.16 acres of land. With plenty of grass, and a fence all around, Jennifer and Paul couldn’t be happier that Dolly and Adrienne have plenty of room to roam, peck, and cluck to their heart’s content.
