About the host
Hosted by Michael Jones
We're Mike and Sayuri in our early 50's, married 26 years, two kids and a sheepadoodle. Newly empty nesters. We are active rental real estate owners and spend a chunk of time handling the properties. We love to hike when time permits, walk our dog Suki and enjoy a great cup of coffee, pint of beer or glass of red wine.
Why they chose this property
I found this house right before Thanksgiving in 2020. As I pulled into town from Portland I fell in love with the small town charm, the decked out downtown with lights, garland and poinsettia's all ready for the holidays. And then I pulled up to the front of the house just two blocks off downtown and fell in love. This house though in desperate need of remodeling had all the charm to it. It was a gamble with much of the charm covered. A lot of houses have everything ripped out over the years. This one had it's share of problems yet after 4 large dumpster loads of stuff removed, including 8 layers of flooring in the kitchen, the house started to pull together. Though we have much more in store for this house, I'm very pleased with where our remodeling has taken us.
What makes this property unique
The box beam ceiling in the dining room and the leaded glass hutches in the living and dining room were huge draws for me. But the size of the kitchen and it's potential was a huge selling point. Combine that with the brightness of the main level from the many and huge windows. These sold me on the house. Added bonuses are the huge master bedroom and bathroom on the upper level.
