Sweet, Simple Success…SOLD in Sabin!

Congratulations to Kayla on the sale of her cute-as-a-button bungalow in Sabin!

This sale was a complete success. The perfect storyline.

Kayla was a dream client from the start. When we first met, I gave my recommendations for prepping the house for sale, and we discussed her options. After reviewing comps in her very specific neighborhood (or lack thereof), Kayla quickly understood that the investment would be worth it.

The house was lovely to begin with, and Kayla had already done some nice upgrades during her four years there. We decided to replace the track lighting in the living room with modern, low-profile, and dimmable canned lights. Additionally, she had the basement painted a warm white to brighten it up, since half of the living square footage was downstairs. Kayla also had the gutters and roof cleaned and HVAC serviced to help prep for an easier inspection.

Once on the market, we had 27 private showings and about 75 people through the two open houses – people seemed to like it 😉 We ended up with 7 excellent offers, and ended up in contract with some lovely buyers. The rest of the transaction went swimmingly, and we closed $66,000, 10%+ over our original list price!

Perfect timing – Kayla and her fiancé just purchased a home in Southern Oregon and are expecting a new addition to their family this fall. I couldn’t be happier for her, and for the new buyers. Cheers to a sweet, simple, & successful sale!

Walk Through Tour

Portland Monthly Property Watch: A Classic Portland Craftsman in the Sabin Neighborhood

Original details mix with some charming changes in this classic Portland Craftsman in the Sabin neighborhood.

As far as Portland neighborhoods go, Sabin is a hidden-in-plain-sight gem. It’s not very big, yet there are two commercial corridors, NE Prescott cutting through its north section and NE Fremont along the south edge, which bookend the residential core. That core is filled to the brim with some classic, early-20th-century Portland homes. Not the ones built for the rich and fancy—these are for everybody else

This particular listing on Northeast 18th Avenue is charming from the start: the front porch spans the entire front and begs an afternoon sit chatting with the neighbors. It has a very symmetrical façade, with the wooden and glass front door centered on the front steps, and flanked on either side by an identical set of four windows.

Built in 1909, the home still has original details, like those aforementioned windows and interior woodwork, as well as some unexpected, and totally delightful, updates. Case in point: in the living room, there’s a skosh of painted trim (purple!) alongside the original stained wood. There’s also a skylight, one of six throughout the home, which must have been added at a later date to bring in lots of natural light everywhere, as Craftsmans, depending on their orientation and window layout, have been called dark in comparison to their modern counterparts.

The highly desirable Alberta Arts District is only one block away, giving this location a Walkscore of 93, and a plethora of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops to try nearby. Also close? The Sabin HydroPark, where the grounds beneath two water treatment towers were reinvented into a petite park, with a community garden, play structure for kids, and an off-leash area for pups. Just another way, aside from its modest housing stock, that this neighborhood proves how small can actually be quite mighty.

From the primary bedroom window, gaze out across the street at a full lot dedicated to a native species garden and habitat.

 

The possibilities abound in the high-ceilinged, full-sized, partially finished lower level, which can be accessed both from inside the home as well as from an exterior entry on the north side of the house. One side of the basement features a large storage space and laundry. The other side has been finished to include a large and bright living room with cork floors, a sweet kitchenette, an extra bedroom and en-suite bath. *Please do your own due diligence on this work.* ADU potential? Multi-generational living? Maker space? It’s up to you!

 

Year round living continues outside in the fully-fenced backyard. The back porch features custom-designed woodwork by the owner, with more options for outdoor eating or hangin’ beneath a large covered patio. Pathways lined with luscious plants including a mulberry bush, apple trees, grapes, and strawberries amble around the space. The garage is fully functional as a garage, but would also be perfect for workshop, art studio, or play space. Additional storage units for tools and gardening are situated out of the way, along the north side of the house.

 

Updates include newer gas furnace (2009), electrical panel (2014), water heater, AC, woodstove (2015), newer hardwoods in primary bedroom, and some interior paint, plus basement updates. Incredible location: accustom yourself to a life of convenience on 12th, with Whole Foods, Irving Park, shopping, bars and restaurants just blocks away. Walkscore 89, bikescore 80.

A Perfect Day, Vol. 3: Portland’s Sabin Neighborhood

Since the 1880s, the area now recognized as Portland’s Sabin neighborhood has undergone several socio-economical shifts. Beginning in the late 19th century, workers immigrating from Europe and Russia settled the area in pursuit of farming and factory work. This created tight-knit communities of immigrant populations near present-day Martin Luther King Boulevard, formerly Union Avenue. Following the devastating Vanport flood, many of the 17,500 individuals left without homes sought refuge in Portland’s northeast quadrant. As one of few areas unimpacted by exclusionary redlining practices, Sabin became a haven for black families and displaced individuals. Another demographic shift occurred in the 1990s, when a new wave of homeowners began moving to the area. Today, Sabin is notable for being one of Portland’s most culturally and economically diverse areas, maintaining its heart as an inclusive and community-focused district.

 

MORNING

One of the major perks of Portland’s Sabin neighborhood is its many outdoor attractions, so plan your adventure for a day that’s neither too wet or too hot. In starting your tour of Sabin, you have a couple of options. To enjoy a more traditional sit-down breakfast, head over NE 14th & NE Fremont, where you’ll find neighborhood staple, Caffe Destino. For something lighter, park near NE 15th& NE Prescott and head to VilleVelo Bake Shop for their exceptional selection of baked goods, which pair perfectly with the artisan beverages and pour overs from Extracto Coffeehouse.

After you have effectively fueled up, it’s time to partake in one of Sabin’s famous pastimes – a self-guided walking tour of the area’s bee-friendly gardens. Participating residential gardens are scattered throughout the neighborhood, so visitors are welcome to begin their tour at any point. These gardens can be identified on the map, and a comprehensive list can be viewed on the neighborhood association’s website. Get more insight into the nearly 30 gardens by following along with the audio track, which can be streamed by calling (503) 205-0326. Enter the garden “stop number,” which can be found at the garden location or on the list, and enjoy learning more about the gardens from the owner’s perspective.

 

AFTERNOON

Along your self-guided tour, you’ll happen across some hidden gems that illustrate the tight-knit aspet of the Sabin area, such as the Sabin Community Orchard and Sabin’s charming HydroPark. If you’re the type to plan ahead, aim to reach Sabin’s HydroPark around midday. This iconic park features two prominent water towers. Operated by the Water Bureau, Portland’s HydroPark program utilized the area surrounding the infrastructure to create a community greenspace. Here, you can soak in combination of  industrial and natural beauty beneath the shade of old growth trees. Additionally, the facility is home to water-based activities and the local community garden.

Near the park is Pok Pok Noi, an offshoot of national acclaimed thai restaurant, Pok Pok, the Noi location offers up delicious cuisine in an intimate environment. The selection of small plates and refreshing cocktails make the perfect midday meal. For a hands-on activity, head a few blocks south from Pok Pok Noi to reach Bird’s Eye View, a local gallery and art school, where you can partake in a wide range of creative endeavors.

EVENING

Primarily a residential area, Sabin quiets during the later hours of day. Its low-key vibe is meant to throw you off, as the neighborhood is actually home to a selection of Portland’s best-kept culinary secrets. Among these gems are established creole-inspired bistro, Acadia; contemporary, French-inspired Verdigris Restaurant; and the popular local hub, Mojos Sushi. Along this stretch of Fremont, you can also find some Old Portland dive bars. We suggest rounding out the evening at one the remaining Old Portland-style bars located along NE Fremont, which include Daddy Mojo’s Cafe and County Cork Public House.
