Portland, Oregon, 97220

This quintessential craftsman bungalow in trendy Montavilla, with its stellar curb appeal, an inviting front porch for your morning coffee, original wood trim, classic built-ins, and ample living spaces is what most would consider “that perfect Portland house”, and I couldn’t agree more. Walk in through the custom made screen door into a cozy living room complete with built-in bookcases and a wood burning fireplace, pocket doors, a den with a secret door, an elegant dining space with leaded glass built-ins and a charming and spacious kitchen. A large primary bedroom, a bonus room with brand new cork flooring, and a bathroom complete the main floor. The bonus room would make the perfect home office space for many trades and services, as it connects to the bathroom and has its own exterior entrance! Two additional bedrooms upstairs and an expansive basement with tall ceilings and an additional exterior entrance complete this grand old Portland beauty. Use the basement for extra storage or dream big and make additional rooms. The gardens have been loved for many years and will grace your spring and summer days with flowers and your autumn days with color. Some standouts include echinacea, fuchsia, lilac, a snowball tree, phlox, dahlias, asparagus, blueberries, raspberries, and herbs! Plus, the fun of Montavilla is right outside your door: The Yard food truck pod and Montavilla Park and its community center are all just a block away, and it’s just a short walk to all the restaurants, bars, and farmers market in nearby Stark St, including the hottest new spot in town, Yaowarat! Easy access to highways and shopping centers, a Walk Score of 77 and Bike Score of 79 make this location ideal for easy commutes almost anywhere! Versatile, sexy and moody, this vintage lady is a move-in ready dream!

Easy peasy… here’s the key-z!

Posted on July 21, 2021 by Tracey Henkels

Congratulations to Kari & Trina!!

I love referrals!! I think I’ve said that before, but it’s just so true! Every dang time.

Here’s the story, Kari and Trina found the dream-house before they found the dream-agent. We happen to have mutual friends who referred them to me and what a great match we are! They are fun, smart and know what they want. Perfection!

Here is what is so cool about referrals. When a past client or close friend refers me to someone I’ve never met, it’s far more likely that we will build trust quickly and be able to hit the ground running because the new client already expects to have an awesome experience. That was certainly the case in this situation. This was a competitive sale and we needed to hit the ground running. From the minute I met Kari and Trina I knew that we had trust and that we could do what needed to happen to get them into their dream house. And it was an awesome experience! Now they have the keys to their forever home and I hope they refer me to their friends as well.

If you or anyone you know wants to talk about buying or selling a home, I would love the opportunity to connect with them!
