A New Home For The Holidays

Posted on by Living Room Realty

I first met the Carsons in September. They are a family of four and were living in a condo in the South Waterfront and their balcony was being tear-gassed almost every night of the week because of the protests. They were living in 1000 square feet and they were itching to get out and have more space. 

The most important items on their checklist were outdoor space for their two teenage boys, 20 minutes or less for their daily commute to the Pearl, decent schools and a bedroom for each kid. We embarked on a house hunting journey that took us from Forest Heights all the way to Tualatin and in-between. 

When we found this house they walked-in and knew they loved it. It had been really nicely remodeled, had a fabulous backyard for their kids to play, two fireplaces, a big garage, an extra family room and enough space for them to all spread out. And bonus, they wouldn’t have to do any work to it, they could just move right in!

We beat out three other offers. Now they can move in just in time to celebrate the Holidays in their brand new home. They can start making memories here together. And bonus points for the kids: the Gabriel Park Skate Park is also just down the street!

Keep Calm and Believe in Your Home Destiny

Posted on by Living Room Realty

You know that feeling of calm when something just feels right? That’s what this transaction was like for my friend and client Camille. We had only looked at one house before this one that she liked but just not quite in the right location. I called her a couple of days later when I saw this listing. I had a great feeling about it by looking at the photos and then… bonus! Ross Seligman at Living Room Realty was the listing agent. I thought it could be a perfect fit.

We walked in and immediately she felt it. That feeling when you know this is the right place at the right time and it feels like the universe is speaking to you… was this destiny? From the Japanese maples in the front yard, to the beautiful fireplace, the spacious kitchen, wonderfully updated bathroom with subway tiles and the private back yard. She was in love. It checked off everything on her wish list. We spent probably 45 minutes in the house just feeling the vibe and talking about how much she loved it. She wanted to make an offer. We came in with our best and crossed our fingers.

With 11 other offers on the table I was nervous, but Camille was calm. And then we got the news that our offer would be in the backup position. It was not the winning offer but backup is better than rejection every time!!! Then after about a week, DESTINY!  I got a call from Ross telling me that the first position buyer had decided to back out. Our offer was accepted!

What a pleasure to work with friends and see them living their dreams. What an honor to be a part of this process with her! She never waivered, never felt anxious or scared because she just had the feeling that this was her future. After a challenging year she can move into the new chapter of her life in a home that was destined for her.

 

Gabriel Park Adding an Inclusive Play Area!

Posted on by Sharon Bloudek

In my experience, every great neighborhood has a great park. I just sold a house near Gabriel Park and it has too many amenities to mention! The size alone makes it a green beating heart of many neighborhoods in its vicinity. Spacious at ninety-one acres, it is filled with all kinds of sports courts, skate park, baseball field, and numerous play areas and trails for you and for your children and your pups too (off-leash areas). Located on the edge of the park, the SW Community Center hums with activity with varied classes, camps and their indoor pool.

And good news has just been announced-

Gabriel Park playground will become Portland Parks & Recreation’s newest inclusive play area. This will include a universally designed playground and pathway and parking improvements. PP&R expects the play area to be completed in late 2020, after the public involvement process for the design which began this Spring.

Begin your journey exploring the park at SW 45th Ave & Vermont Street, and if you’d like a tour around some of its neighborhoods don’t hesitate to call me at (503) 701-1000.
