Just Listed: Classic Charm + Modern Efficiency in Richmond

Posted on March 6, 2025March 6, 2025 by Andy Meeks

Welcome to this classic SE Portland bungalow where historic charm meets modern efficiency. Nestled on a quiet street in the gently rolling hills of the lovely Richmond neighborhood, this bright home with high ceilings boasts an open floorplan with south- and west-facing windows that ensure abundant natural light throughout the day. Plant lovers rejoice! The flow is fantastic and perfect for entertaining: the welcoming layout offers visibility from the living room to the updated kitchen to the French doors that open onto an expansive deck with a peaceful, elevated 180° view. The vibe out back is chill and perfect for summer hangs with your buds.

The large main bedroom offers flexibility for multiple uses with direct access to the shared bathroom. The finished basement lives large and expands the living space with two additional bedrooms, a spacious family room perfect for cozy reading sessions and movie nights, plus a full bathroom/laundry room with exterior access. The fully-fenced backyard features multiple levels of raised garden beds and retaining walls ready for your garden dreams, and the 9′ x 11′ shed provides secure storage for your bikes, outdoor gear and gardening projects.

The house has fortunately retained all of its original solid wood doors and original hardware, and it also features many modern updates and cool custom-made additions, like the bespoke gate and handmade children’s slide in the basement. Double-pane windows, 96% efficient gas furnace, and tankless water heater offer quiet comfort and give this house an impressive Home Energy Score of 7/10. Newer engineered hardwood floors have been installed throughout the main level while the basement features cork flooring and carpet.

The quiet neighborhood is an absolute dream to explore. Two blocks of massive trees surrounding the Loyola Jesuit Center are just down the street and they act as a tangible heat sink in the summer. There’s easy access to everything you need: just blocks to Portland Wine Company and Birds & Bees Nursery, 1/2 mile to Division and Foster business districts, Clinton and Creston Parks, Franklin High School, Natural Grocers, and so much more. This home offers serious value and is primed for you to bring your vision and ideas to life. Don’t miss this chance to make this bright and beautiful charmer your own!

SOLD // Simplifying in SE Portland!

Posted on December 9, 2024December 9, 2024 by Olivia Rush

Congratulations Morgan and Mackenzie!!!

M+M are yes people. They take on a lot and actually execute all of it, flawlessly and on time. The kind of duo who make me cock my head and think, “How the-?!”

During COVID, they relocated to Oregon and started their homesteading era in a large house on a large property. It was dreamy – and a lot of work.

After nearly 5 years in the country, they were tired and ready to simplify. Move back into the city, closer to their community. Spend more time on creative pursuits and less time on chores and maintenance. Slow their roll.

But old habits die hard. A grand old foursquare fixer oozing with charm (and a wild history to boot) caught their eye, and the wheels started turning. We threw in an offer and it was off to the races!

Midway through the inspection period, reality began sinking in. Their gut-check brought their *why* clearly into focus. The whole point was to simplify, not sign up for another project!

So, we pivoted. Logistics and time constraints were breathing down our necks. Fortunately, M+M are women of action. Within 2 days, we were pending again – this time, on a sweet Cape Cod in Richmond. She was a sight for sore eyes and a salve for the weary soul.

This house knew what they needed. Inspections went SO well for 1942 home, further confirming that *this must be the place* feeling.

We closed on their new home 2 days after selling their country property. The destination certainly justified the 6-month harrowing journey on this one. It was a long road, expect-the-unexpected the whole way, but I think blood pressures have finally returned to baseline.

I am so excited for this next phase for M+M (and Aiden and Griffon, and the cat, and the bunnies…) This was our third transaction together. I’m so honored to be a part of their journey over the years, and grateful for the rapport, trust, and humor that comes with repeat clients.
