In these trying times, many people have sought a change. They want elbow room –  rooms to educate, rooms to work, rooms to play, to exercise, cook, and tinker and relax.  This new listing has those rooms, but what’s more is that it has location x 3. It benefits from proximity to beautiful places to hike, beaches to relax on, and trails to ride on. It also benefits from easy shopping and some sincerely fabulous dining and drinking establishments. Furthermore, when this chaos is all over, being  based in the northern end of Westmoreland it has a very minor commute and a quick drive/bike ride into Downtown Portland for the culture we’ve all been missing.

But let’s talk amenities – The kitchen is a proven cooks’ kitchen (the current owner is a pro chef) with insane amounts of storage including multiple cupboards, an island and a full walk-in pantry, not to mention built-in seating with storage cubbies in the dining area. It has 13 foot high ceilings so a pot rack will not decapitate!  It also boasts gas, so if you’ve been dreaming of trying your hand at a gas range, this is the time.  It also has an artfully hand painted and newly polished wood floor that would inspire creativity in any cook, and finishes up with a bright enclosed sun porch with outside access (perfect for plucking fresh herbs!).

This house boasts a huge living room, which is large enough to allow for a formal dining area if needed. It has a huge bay window with window seat that could fit for several people or you and ALL of  your favorite pets, a book and a cup of tea. It has a Pergo floor  —  great for a dance party, ask me how I know — as well as 13′ ceilings, so the walls are perfect for large art. The room opens in to the large master with bathroom access, or on to the kitchen, and has stairs to the finished basement.  Downstairs, is the second family room, ready for a cozy couch and multimedia system. In addition to the utility room, there are 3 more rooms just awaiting your home gym, home office, storage, or even a future second bath.  Back upstairs and off the kitchen is the jack-and-jill style family bathroom which has been lovingly restored to fit the 1907 aesthetic with cast iron tub, matching vanity, vintage lighting and vintage-inspired Ann Sacks Tile.  There are a further 3 rooms, one which would make a perfect reading room or small office, maybe even a nursery, and another two bedrooms. The central hallway ends in a door that goes directly to the deck and lawn for easy kitchen-to-bbq access!  Lastly, the FANTASTIC garage is a tinkerer’s dream. It is an over-sized two-car and has a carpenter-designed work bench and shelving, for those creative types, or people like me with just too much junk.

So if you’ve been yearning for space, a change of scene and proximity to some great stuff for a great price, in one of Portland’s favorite neighborhoods —  this is the house for you.
