JUST LISTED: Spacious, bright and fresh in Portsmouth

This spacious, bright and fully refreshed home offers a tremendous value.

In the past two months, the seller — who is the original owner — has lovingly updated so many key features to help the next owners feel right at home. The interior walls, ceilings and trim were professionally painted, new wall-to-wall carpet and luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed throughout the entire home, new light fixtures were hung on the first floor, and the kitchen has brand new Pental Quartz countertops, along with a brand new stainless steel sink and fixture. In so many ways, it feels like a new home.

The house greets you with a generous foyer that leads into the open-concept living room and dining room spaces. The high ceilings and fresh color palette create spaces that are airy, bright and inviting. There is plenty of room to entertain, and the gas fireplace offers an easy way to get cozy. The sliding doors from the dining room offer quick access to the south-facing backyard and patio during the warmer months.

Living is easy! Upstairs there are 4 large bedrooms, including the owner’s suite that has a huge (88+ sf) walk-in closet. Each bedroom is spacious with large closets and big windows. The hallway has two solar tubes that provide passive light, even on the gray days. There is a laundry room at the end of the hallway, right next to the second full bathroom with a tub. The attached oversized garage provides plenty of room for everyone’s gear and makes it easy to bring in the groceries.

The home was built in 2007 by Tom Walsh Construction to the high standards of efficiency required to be Earth Advantage Certified. The 92% efficient gas furnace was recently serviced, the roof received a 5-year certification, the exterior has been fully powerwashed, and there is fresh landscaping around the property.

The house is located just two blocks from beautiful McCoy Park and its many large, mature trees, play structures and the Community Garden, as well as two blocks from the Charles Jordan Community Center. The Lombard business district, including New Seasons, is just over 1 mile away, as is the underrated Columbia Slough nature trail to the north. The Bike Score is a 97, making access to the neighborhood and beyond a cinch.

There is so much house on offer here, and it’s ready to grow with you over the years. Don’t miss this one!

Fun facts and history bonus: McCoy Court is named for the remarkable Gladys McCoy, Oregon’s first Black official in elected office where she served on the Portland School Board from 1970-1978 and continued to serve Portland and Multnomah County until her death in 1993. In 1972, her husband William McCoy was the first African American elected to the Oregon State Legislature. You can read more HERE from the Oregon Historical Society.

Babies Need Room to Crawl, Walk and Do What Babies Do

Who has a baby? I have a baby. Anyone who has or has had a baby knows you quickly get to the point where they are moving, moving EVERYWHERE. Every obstacle just becomes an added level to the game of “How do I get around this, over this, or how do I eat this?” So when you find a home with space (like a lot of space) for all the crawling, walking and kids stuff, and it’s within eye sight of a newly remodeled Instgrammable kitchen, it’s like breathing a deep sigh of relief as you enjoy your second (third?) cup of coffee.

Kristen and Andrew first moved to Portland about a year ago for Andrew’s  medical residency program and shortly after welcomed their first baby. They were living in a cute apartment in Concordia and loved the neighborhood and being able to walk to Alberta Park, but their space quickly felt smaller and smaller as there daughter grew bigger and bigger. They knew they didn’t want to spend money on rent any more and wanted to invest in a home.

While they had an idea of the neighborhoods they wanted to be in, they also knew their limitations and prioritized a home that was more or less in move-in ready condition, because after all who has time renovate when you have a new baby?  With very little inventory at the beginning of 2019, they saw how crazy the Portland housing market could get when only one out of every 15 homes that came up in inner Northeast Portland had some charm and was move-in-ready. Rather than continually wait for the inventory to improve and the chaos to subside, or settle for a home that needed a lot of work, they decided to look a little farther East and quickly found a recently remodeled and spacious older home with a big yard and in a quiet neighborhood that was still walking distance to a great park. Now they have plenty of space for all members of the family to roam, including the cat who apparently has a thing for running up and down stairs.

 

Congratulations Kristen and Andrew!
