When we met Mark & Anne a little over a year ago they were dreaming of escaping the suburban lifestyle they had been accustomed to for the last 20 years.
They were ready to make a big change! They wanted to sell their home in NW and find an apartment in the city. Anne wanted to be able to walk to her office or take the street car and Mark wanted to have a grocery store and amenities right outside his front door. They were willing to give up their extra car and their home ownership responsibilities for a smaller foot print in the city close to everything. Once their home was sold they landed in a high rise apartment in the Pearl district. They loved the apartment and the lifestyle so much they decided they wanted a condo of their own. The wish list for the condo was spacious, city views and a similar awesome location as their rental. After riding the street car, walking the Pearl blocks and exploring all the condo buildings, Mark and Anne knew they wanted to live in The Henry building. After reviewing the architect’s plans of the Henry building, Mark and Anne got super clear on the exact floor plan they wanted in the building. In no time at all a condo on the 13th floor came on the market that fit the bill. Mark and Anne didn’t waste any time and we got it under contract for them right away. They couldn’t be more excited to move into their new home and enjoy wine from their balcony, shopping locally and visiting the theater all within a stones throw.
