Brand New Sellwood/Moreland Contemporary

I'm a University of Oregon graduate and Portland local who loves traveling the world, exploring new places, and experiencing different cultures. I'm a fan of vacation rentals as a traveler, which is one of the reasons I enjoy being a host. I've always appreciated the comfort, character, and personal touches that make staying in someone's home special, and I love being able to offer that same experience to my guests.

When I'm not working or traveling, I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest, getting outdoors, trying new restaurants, and appreciating everything Portland has to offer.

As a host, I take pride in providing a clean, comfortable, and well-maintained home. I want guests to feel genuinely welcome and have the kind of experience I look for when I'm traveling myself. I'm always happy to share local recommendations and help make your visit to Portland a memorable one!

One of my favorite things about Portland’s Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood is that it offers the best of both worlds: easy access to downtown Portland and the vibrant Inner Eastside, while maintaining its own charming, laid-back neighborhood feel.

Sellwood-Moreland has a small-town atmosphere, with tree-lined streets, beautiful historic homes, independent boutiques, cozy coffee shops, excellent restaurants, and neighborhood pubs. It's the kind of place where you can stroll to grab coffee, explore antique shops, enjoy a leisurely brunch, or spend an afternoon wandering through local parks.

What makes this location especially appealing is its balance of convenience and tranquility. Downtown Portland, the Central Eastside's restaurants and breweries, and many of the city's most popular attractions are just a short drive away. After a day exploring everything Portland has to offer, it's wonderful to return to a quieter, welcoming neighborhood that feels removed from the bustle of the city.

For me, Sellwood-Moreland captures what makes Portland special: a friendly, walkable community full of local character, great food, beautiful green spaces, and easy access to the rest of the city.

Our newly constructed, 1,400-square-foot cottage combines modern design, thoughtful details, and a surprisingly spacious layout. One of my favorite things about the home is how efficiently it uses its footprint. Every square foot has been designed with comfort and livability in mind, creating a space that feels much larger than you might expect.

The main floor features soaring 10-foot ceilings, an open-concept living area, and large windows that fill the space with natural light. The airy layout makes it easy to relax, cook, dine, or spend time together without ever feeling cramped. A modern kitchen, comfortable living area, large 75-inch TV, and sleek electric fireplace make the space equally inviting for quiet evenings and entertaining.

Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms, each featuring a comfortable king-size bed. Unlike many smaller vacation rentals, neither bedroom feels like an afterthought. Both offer plenty of room to spread out, unpack, and settle in. With two full bathrooms upstairs and a convenient half bath on the main level, the home is especially well suited for two couples, friends traveling together, or families who appreciate a little extra privacy.

The home also includes modern conveniences like central heating and air conditioning, an in-unit washer and dryer, stainless steel appliances, and thoughtful touches throughout.

What I love most is that the cottage offers the comfort and functionality of a much larger home without the unnecessary space. It's modern, cozy, and exceptionally livable—a welcoming place to unwind after exploring Portland.
