Cozy Home with Secret Gardens in North Portland

By Marissa Sainz, August 24, 2020

This lovely listing located off of N Polk was initially purchased by a sweet couple I helped back in 2014. It was the perfect starter home for them and boasted a big yard. In their time there, they expertly transformed their gardens into a blooming oasis and it is nothing short of gorgeous. I was so stunned to see it completely transformed when the contacted me in the last few months to help them sell.

Even though my clients were sad to leave, they have the chance to pick up some traveling nursing gigs and are hitting the road with their 2-year-old daughter. What an amazing opportunity! Now, this cozy home is home to new owners who I’m sure are already in love with this carefully crafted space, from the beautiful hardwood floors & charming gas stove to the gardens outside. The location provides the perfect space to raise a family and is minutes away from historic St Johns and Pier Park.

We collaborated on updates to get the home ready to list.  All new countertops and backsplash are just a few of the renovations added. Within three days, we had multiple offers and sold $20,000 over the list price! I’m so excited to see my clients heading on to new adventures and am overjoyed to be a part of a new family’s home buying journey.
