About this property
Inviting Designer Cottage
A traveller's dream. Inviting and spacious, modern and luxurious, this is the perfect spot to hang out after a busy day enjoying the city. Enjoy the fully-equipped kitchen or go ahead and try one of many nearby award-winning restaurants. With designer elements, heated bathroom floors, high ceilings, tons of natural light, built to be energy efficient, this place warms or cools in an instant and blocks out the sound of the nearby hustle.
Perfectly situated one block from Hawthorne Blvd and six blocks from Division St, you'll be right in the heart of what is cool about Portland. Stroll in any direction to browse boutiques, movie theaters that serve food and drinks, plush dining experiences, quiet cafes, and beautiful parks. Transportation is right outside the door, with Biketown bike share, Tri-met rapid bus lines, and readily available Lyft drivers. This is the place to experience Portland-style action.
Once inside, it's easy to find comfort. All of the details of home will surround you: a fully-equipped kitchen, comfy seating, the best bed ever. Quiet, peaceful, modern, clean, warm and inviting, you'll drop everything to sink into this space. A king size bed is upstairs in the master suite with full luxury bath. The main level sofa turns into the best sofa bed you've ever experienced. Memory foam, luxurious linens, and comfy pillows will make for a dreamy experience. While it's not exactly a second bedroom, the sofa bed is in the rear living space of the house, leaving the front great room still available for guests to wander around.

About the host
Your host
We are a family of four with two elementary aged boys, and we've lived in the house next door since 2008. Justin is a high school science teacher and started a hands-on science program, complete with a farm, commercial kitchen and wood shop. Natalie is a local Realtor with Living Room Realty, and loves providing clients with upmost service and expertise in the local real estate market. We've lived in this neighborhood together since 2000, except for one year spent abroad in Switzerland, where we had our first born child. We love to travel to as many places as we can squeeze in each year, focusing on nature and cultural experiences for our kids. When we're home, we enjoy hiking, skiing, playing with our sweet golden doodle, and cooking from scratch with as many locally sourced ingredients as possible.
Why they chose this property
We built this house in 2016 when the City of Portland started to provide incentives for building mother-in-law types of units in the heart of the city. We fell in love with this idea and the potential rental benefit it offered in the short term and the opportunity of retiring in it full-time in the long term. We hired our friend and local architect who spent countless hours dreaming up a layout that is both functional and beautiful in 800 square feet. Click this link for more info on our process:
What makes this property unique
We went all out with the design and quality of this home when we built it. Every light switch, fixture, design element were thought of and executed by me and based on what I love about a house. The challenge was to design a home that flows well and is modern and luxurious, while remaining functional and comfortable: we did not want an overly cold, stiff and boxy new build. One of the most energy efficient houses in the neighborhood, the insulation is tight and the materials behind the walls are well above code. The single-wall kitchen features European high end appliances with every little detail thought of. The upstairs bedroom is a sanctuary, with high ceilings, a huge closet, a tiny balcony for light, and stained glass I designed to add color into the space. The bathrooms are luxurious, with heated tile, never ending hot water and great pressure in the showers.
