Blog Fixer Cabin Fever in The City

Cabin Fever in The City

By Bobby Curtis, July 31, 2019

Check out my latest remodeled Portland bungalow tucked in the trees of St Johns. When you open the front doors, you will be greeted with the warm, spacious living room with 12 ft cathedral ceilings and pine shiplap walls.

Step down into the large and cozy bedroom with pine wainscoting. Look out to the Evergreen in the front yard with a 7 foot wide tree trunk. Yep, you will feel like you’re in a luxury treehouse.

 

Continuing through the living room to the new custom kitchen with breakfast bar and quartz counters.

Dine in or step out to the large, private deck where you can BBQ, host friends, or have a cup of coffee in the morning.

Head downstairs to the inviting finished lower level with guest bedroom. Out the back door to the newer 392 SF garage with 9 ft ceilings and city approvable architectural plans for ADU conversion included. Friendly neighborhood and quick commute access.

For more info on this house, check out the listing here. Not quite right for you? If you’re interested in finding a remodeled house like this, or a fixer that can be restored, give me a call. I’m happy to help you in your search.

On the flip side, if you’re looking to sell your current home or investment property, I’m happy to get together for a coffee or whatever you drink to talk about your plans, and what’s important to you.

He/Him

Meet Bobby Curtis.  Buying agent. Listing agent.  Renovator.

A down-to-earth Midwesterner, Bobby graduated from the University of Michigan, and headed to Portland in 2004. He began a career in the pharmaceutical industry focusing on sales, marketing, and consulting.  In those five years, he was even lucky enough to roam around Europe for short assignment in Switzerland. When he came back to Portland he took some time to discover what he was really interested in. Homes. More specifically, architecture, restoration, and entrepreneurship. After getting his real estate license in 2011, he purchased his first house in Portland to restore, redesign, then sell. Bobby rolled up his sleeves and started in on what would become his real career interest – transforming distressed houses into stand out homes by discovering the beauty of each unique property. Since that time Bobby has bought and restored several houses each year in Portland, both large and small, with great success.  Armed with extensive first-hand knowledge of restoration, Bobby offers his clients an exceptional eye to pinpoint property potential and value.  Whether you are searching for a complete fixer property, or a shining, buttoned-up stunner, he is skilled and enjoys guiding clients through the process of finding the perfect place. If you are selling your home or investment property, Bobby showcases his clients homes like he was selling his own. That kind of attention to detail will present all of the property’s best features.  It's because he has bought and sold properties of his own each year, that he better understands what it’s like to be in his clients shoes, and to navigate through the current real estate market. As an experienced broker and professional, Bobby is able to negotiate the best price and terms for his clients. If you’re looking to get a sneak peak of Bobby in action, you can watch him on an episode of First Time Flippers on the DIY Network, where he helped his mom flip her first house. Or you can catch him on KATU’s Afternoon Live daytime talk show once a month, discussing Portland Real Estate and House Restoration.
