Viewing homes for sale in Portland:
As a licensed Portland Oregon Realtor I was showing homes a few days ago to an out-of-state family from Ohio. We came into one of the most amazing homes I’ve seen in a while. We were looking at Portland homes for sale in inner SE area of Westmoreland/Sellwood. You can click on the link to view Westmoreland/Sellwood homes for sale. The neighborhood we viewed was near Reed College, and while driving up to this home, the first thing I noticed was a peaceful quite tree-lined street and a kids lemonade stand on the corner ( why didn’t I get a cup). I looked at the MLS listing and for a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home, with over 3000 Sq. Ft, in a beautifully highly sought after neighborhood, the home was priced around the $400,000 range but could of easily gone for over $500k in a solid housing market. The front yard had a grape vine trellis with sweet as pie grapes and underneath was a hand carved wooden bench and marble table that is perfect for reading or relaxing. A stone pathway let to the front door, the perfect front yard.
We entered the home
As we entered, it felt like this grand lofty style of living that made me instantly want to kick off my shoes and relax on the couch. If I wasn’t a Portland Realtor, I might of just done that. The gourmet kitchen flowed seamlessly into the dining room and it had a chef’s delight island in the middle with everything you can imagine on it to make cooking a breeze. The pantry was huge and the kitchen had the most perfect little eating nook. We continued our walk…The master bedroom was on the main level and it had a bathroom that was like a luxury day spa and french doors that led to the backyard wooden deck patio with a hot tub in the corner. We walked in the backyard and it had every mature fruit tree you can imagine. Tons of ripe and tasty fruit just hanging there waiting for me to sample a bit of everything. Yes, I had a peach!
The bedrooms upstairs were spacious with tall ceilings and large walk in closets that can fit everything you own. The molding on the ceilings were delightful and every window had the new energy efficient double paned windows. The basement level had a separate entrance as well as a second kitchen, bedroom and bathroom so when you have out of town guests, they can literally have their own apartment without feeling like they are in the way, or…the perfect mother-in-law quarters. My clients and I new that this home was going to sell fast, and sure enough, it had an accepted offer within a week of being on the market. Below is not a picture of that Portland home for sale, but this one does look nice to share.
