A Home With Room To Dance

It’s an amazing experience when you get a chance to work with a friend, and find them a true home.  A place they will have the opportunity to to grow their family, create countless memories; a place to live their beautiful, loving, messy lives.

I have known Doug for over 20 years, and consider him one of my closest friends.  In 2011, in the middle of the recession, I helped him find a his first house.  He purchased a small home, and it needed some work, but it was in a great neighborhood, and I knew it was the perfect fit for a 30 something first time home buyer, and a great investment too.

Fast forward 9 years, and now Doug is happily married, with a young toddler son, and that cute Alameda bungalow just doesn’t fit them anymore. There just wasn’t enough room for family dance parties!

In the midst of the pandemic, they started their search with the best escapist intentions; hoping to purchase land in the country.  When they saw what their budget could procure in areas like Corbett, they refocused the search to larger lots on either the East or Westside of Portland.

West Portland seemed to offer the most opportunities.  Before long,  we found an amazing home previously owned by a true wood craftsman. This home had beautiful woodwork at every turn, fun nooks and crannies, an incredible covered porch, fashioned with beautiful wood details, a large yard, and even a tree fort with a rope bridge!!  It was perfect for their family.

I’m happy that Doug, Tara, and their son, Otis will be creating wonderful memories, and having many a family dance party, in this beautiful home.  And, I look forward to being a part of that!
