Alberta Street bungalow dreams do come true!

This bright and updated classic welcomes you with the perfect front porch, the warmth of expansive original fir floors throughout the first floor and gorgeous custom CVG fir built-ins & kitchen cabinets. The light that’s pulled in from the six huge double-paned, high-efficiency, custom wood windows in the living room and dining room is just delightful. Other thoughtful and unique features include locally-sourced madrone stairs and countertop, custom stainless steel railing, original restored wood interior doors, custom CVG fir pocket closet doors, Wolf gas range, Bosch dishwasher, paperstone countertops and Rejuvenation fixtures throughout. There are two bonus room upstairs, connected by a large skylight in the hallway, as well as a bonus room in the basement. The basement, with its own separate entrance, also has a third bedroom with an egress window and a full bathroom.

Mature and lush landscaping creates a private oasis, and the eight custom COR-TEN steel raised beds in the backyard are the centerpiece. You can kick back on the ipe deck to take it all in on a quiet morning or warm evening, with the kitchen door right there for access. The detached garage on a quiet back alley beckons a creative space, or just simply additional storage.

With a Walk Score of 84 and a Bike Score of 98 (one block north of the Going Street bike boulevard!), access to all of the very best on Alberta Street is literally a stone’s throw away. Caffe Vita, Bella Pizza, La Bonita, Akasaru Ramen and the venerable Alberta Rose Theatre are within a short two block walk.

This is a special place and the perfect NE PDX home base. Don’t miss this one!

He/Him

My clients are always my top priority, and my singular focus is their success. This is the intention I set every day. My training and background as a licensed attorney helps me lead with a sharp attention to detail, a keen ear and focused voice, and an unwavering commitment to integrity, transparency and discretion. I’m a passionate advocate and I thrive when helping others succeed, and I’m always available to connect over a cup of coffee to learn how I can help make good things happen. Read my client reviews here. The choice to become a real estate broker was a joyful combination of two very different careers. Prior to moving to Portland in 2008, I was an environmental and title closing attorney in Massachustts. Since then, I've served as a program manager and fundraising professional for Portland-based non-profit organizations Friends of Trees, The Freshwater Trust and Ecotrust. While not scouting homes and helping clients, you can find me riding bicycles, skiing, digging in the garden, experimenting in the kitchen, and exploring the stunning beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Please let me know how I can help you or someone you know. Thank you! *I'm licensed as an attorney in Massachusetts and can't offer any sort of legal advice.
