Closed! Lovely Milwaukie Ranchalow

By Marissa Sainz, December 19, 2020

Our newest closing is a special one. My friend Mark, a native of Chicago, like myself, came to me looking for his next home. After some searching, we were able to find the perfect one!

Located in Milwaukie, Oregon, this ranch bungalow fusion styled home was just the right size and in just the right place—recently updated with all new stunning hardwood floors, this home was move-in ready too! Three bedrooms and two and a half baths afford plenty of space to grow and we were really sold experiencing the abundance of natural light and large backyard. The outside area is .21 acres and already has some garden boxes ready for next spring. To top it off, there is a large covered patio with beautiful stonework which makes it the perfect space to host family and friends.
This home is right across the street from Stringfield Park and only a few minutes away from the city. With such an ideal location, I was surprised that it hadn’t been snatched up earlier!When we talked with the seller and her agent, they were kind, flexible, and exceptionally communicative which allowed all parties to work through what otherwise would have been complicated hiccups with ease. Even though the seller had just welcomed a newborn, we were able to get in to see the house when needed. Likewise, Mark was super flexible and the sellers were able to finish updates on their new home before moving out. I fully credit great teamwork on all parts for what has been a super successful transaction!

As always, I am grateful to be a part of finding the ideal home for my client. Plus, there is nothing like getting to help your friends. Huge congratulations to Mark—thank you for letting me be a part of this process and I look forward to seeing what personal touches you add to your new home!
