A California Dream in Oregon!

By Living Room Realty, August 9, 2020

Sarah and Dominick! These two! These two are from the small CA town of Nevada City. They love California! They talk about it all the time. The wild Nevada City landscape, the abandoned mines, the many musicians, and the thriving art scene. California is where they were raised, where their memories are, it’s what they know…

Then why did they decide to buy a home in Portland? Because they love Oregon more.

This Gresham home perfectly meets their creative needs. It’s not too big and not too small. It’s a three-bedroom (or a one-bedroom and 2 offices) with just the right amount of vintage charm and upgrades. Most importantly, this home has an expansive backyard where they can dig in. Both Sarah and Dominick have inspired green thumbs and are eager to make their garden grow. They have plans to build raised beds for herbs, berries, and vegetables. There is more than enough space in the back for an ADU, but more likely they will construct an earthy cottage workshop for costume making, painting, and soap production.

Finally, this sweet ranch home is just steps from the newly renamed Verdell Burdine Rutherford Park to commemorate a beloved Black community leader. This park underwent major improvements in 2014 owed to the city’s Parks Replacement Bond. The Verdell Burdine Rutherford Park is now 8 acres of gorgeousness and fun. Beat that California!
