Dunthorpe Tudor Delight

By Robin Hakeman, April 6, 2021

Once upon a time there was a house in the hills of Portland. It was a grand Tudor style home with expansive windows and a view of the trees and mountains. The home was impeccably cared for with high end remodeling in the kitchen and owner’s suite. Behind a gorgeous wood paneled wall in the living room was a secret door that revealed a spiral staircase down to a wine cellar. The backyard was like a park with pathways winding over a waterfall down to a Japanese style tea house and  zen garden. It all felt so magical!

One day a very special family decided they wanted to make this house their home. They waited patiently for the power to come back on and trees to be cleared after one of the most destructive storms in Portland history. When they were finally able to visit the home they were in awe. The space is perfect for their family with room to grow. The grounds will be a place of adventure for their young daughter. They were fortunate to have their offer accepted by the seller & have big plans for their future in this storybook home!

LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE ♥
One of the things I love most about my work in real estate is that it never feels like "work" to me. I love it. I love guiding my clients through the process & celebrating all of the wins along the way. Are you a first time buyer who needs the 101 on all things real estate? We'll sit down and go through it all. Or are you a seasoned-pro looking for top notch service & strategy? We will work closely to put together a plan that ensures your home stands out above the competition. I am passionate about understanding the needs of each client and will be your advocate every step of the way. I truly value the relationship that we will create and my goal is to make this a fun & successful experience for everyone.  Why real estate? My background as a Merchandise Manager for top retail brands prepared me well. I am that rare combination of business smarts meets creativity and this works well for real estate. I have the analytical background necessary to help both buyers and sellers with numbers and negotiation, as well as the creative vision to help clients prepare their homes for sale. As a native Oregonian, I have a deep understanding of all things Portland & beyond. I spent my childhood living in Tigard and when I was old enough, I realized a dream of living on NW 23rd Ave. The first home I owned was in NE Portland and now I live back in the burbs! When I'm not at the office or out with clients you can find me playing tennis, taking a barre3 class, enjoying family time, volunteering at a school and enjoying local theater arts.
