I’m so very happy for my clients Carrie and John that we were able to secure this absolutely dreamy Ladd’s Addition Craftsman bungalow as their future Portland homebase.
This gorgeous 1923 home is effortlessly welcoming with great flow and perfect proportions. It’s been lovingly refreshed while keeping all of the key details intact — the beautiful built-ins next to the fireplace, the dining room sideboard, and those amazing chandeliers. Access to the very best of Division and Hawthorne businesses, bars and restaurants makes the dream of car-free living a reality.
Ladd’s Addition is among the most iconic eastside Portland micro-neighborhoods with its off-grid streets, huge arching tree canopy and some of the most gorgeous and lovingly-kept early century homes in the city. It was the very first planned residential development in Portland, and one of the oldest in the western United States. It’s named for William Ladd, a successful merchant who served as Portland’s mayor twice in the 1850s, who owned a 126-acre farm on the current site of Ladd’s Addition. While it’s officially part of the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood, Ladd’s Addition was designated a historic district by the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It’s one of the most recognizable neighborhoods in Portland and always a pleasure to ride my bike through its quiet streets under huge, shady trees.

The choice to become a real estate broker was a joyful combination of two very different careers. Prior to moving to Portland in 2008, I was an environmental and title closing attorney in Massachustts. Since then, I've served as a program manager and fundraising professional for Portland-based non-profit organizations Friends of Trees, The Freshwater Trust and Ecotrust.
While not scouting homes and helping clients, you can find me riding bicycles, skiing, digging in the garden, experimenting in the kitchen, and exploring the stunning beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
Please let me know how I can help you or someone you know. Thank you!
