About the host
Hosted by Linda Reed ... Walnut Avenue Rental
After a long career as a whole lumber trader I am now a real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty. In 2014 my business partner in Manners Simply (yes, we teach etiquette and specialize in dining skills) and I co-authored an award-winning book "Which Fork Do I Use? Confident and Comfortable Dining." We have been teaching for over 20 years and when we started the book we didn't know it would take us 4-1/2 years to complete. For hobbies, I love to entertain and have parties, to grow pretty flowers, decorate cakes, make sourdough bread, bake cookies and play golf!
Why they chose this property
This house has seen guests from all over the world. We have had guests from as far away as Australia and England. And that was before we entertained the idea of renting it out! I've loved it from the first day I saw it and hope you will too. It's a perfect setting for families and friends to gather, attend Duck football games, UO graduation or attend world class track and field events.
What makes this property unique
When we first moved in my daughter was 8 years old. She wanted a laundry shoot. My husband wanted a front porch and I wanted lots of windows. And it had to be large enough to have my mother move in with us as she aged. There is something wonderful about all the built-in cabinets and storage. The crown moldings and faux painted walls by artist Debra Wilde add warmth and interest to this 1940s house. The backyard is a wonderful place to have a bbq in the peace and quiet of the neighborhood and private yard. Just a piece of local information...River Road at the end of the street is the old Hwy 99 from Portland to California.
