Lexie House is a cozy, comfortable, restored 1905 cottage tucked right into the middle of Portland's most coveted historic neighborhood.
Your friendly hosts live nearby, and are available to assist you or just leave you alone to enjoy your stay.
Antique and vintage furnishings, along with original fir floors and lots of wavy-glass windows, add to the cottage charm. But "mod-cons" -- including cable Internet access -- abound. Ten-foot high ceilings, with an open floor plan and lots of light.
In the master bedroom, there's a late-1800' s brass double bed, with a TEMPUR-PEDIC MATTRESS. The smaller bedroom also boasts an antique brass bed, a single.
The spacious open living area offers a velvet Victorian sofa, loveseat hide-a-bed, good reading lights, nice big desk with high-speed Internet access, and TV with premium cable, VCR and DVD player.
There's a modest library of movies and board games. (Monopoly, anyone? Scrabble? Clue? Candyland? Checkers?) Teddy bears, Legos and other toys await young guests.
In the bathroom, there's a shower, tub -- and rubber duckies galore! Highchair, crib, playpen, changing table and stroller are available, as are rollaway and inflatable beds for your own visitors.
The fully equipped kitchen has a modern gas range and stainless steel fridge, dishwasher, microwave, cookware, dishes, herbs and spices, and (of course!) that Pacific NW essential: an espresso machine!
The utility room off the kitchen has a washer and dryer. The kitchen opens into a tranquil deck area, with two tables, chairs, a barbecue -- and the surrounding bamboo garden creating maximum privacy.
Sellwood Park, with its seasonal public pool and wonderfully equipped playground, is three long blocks away. Westmoreland Park -- playground and all -- is three blocks in the other direction.
The public library is on the next block. Funky or elegant restaurants, grocery stores, TWO Starbucks, and Sellwood's justly-famed Antique Row are all a stroll away. A four-block walk takes you to the New Seasons natural foods market.
Explore Oaks Bottom, renowned wildlife preserve -- or Oaks Park, America's oldest continually-running amusement park!
Take the bus to Portland's downtown and eastside shopping districts. Reed College, Lewis & Clark College and Law School, Oregon Health Sciences Universities and Portland State are all a ten-minute drive away.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2006
My husband Sam and I have lived in Portland's Sellwood neighborhood for nearly 25 years, and love all that it has to offer. The nearby park with public pool, the closeness to the river, the abundance of varied restaurants add to the wonderful quality of life in this part of one of America's most livable cities.
Why the Owner Chose Other Portland Properties
After living in Sellwood ourselves, we came to realize that the area has very little to offer in the way of accommodations for visitors. Soon, we turned our small rental house next door into a guest house. It was an immediate success, drawing guests from all over the world, as well as across the United States. We now offer three guest house, two of them located right in Sellwood.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Location! Location! Location! Lexie House is perfectly situated to explore the immediate area -- the idea base to explore all that Portland has to offer. Cozy and comfortable, it's the ideal home away from home during your visit to The Rose City.
