Congratulations to Sara, Dan and Cece!!
Sara, Dan and Cece set out to find a great home in the Madison High School district and they ended up with so much more than they expected! They found a stunning Mid-Century sanctuary with character galore. It’s the kind of place where just being home feels special. As we are all experiencing these days, our homes mean more than they did before COVID. Many people are finding that they are living in our homes differently now. This is a home that feels like it’s part of the family!
There are some gorgeous midcentury signature features that help make this place special. The decorative mid-century molded wall made with sugarcane. A custom desk made with local black walnut.
And the gorgeous shou sugi ban burned wood exterior and fantastic midcentury breezeway.
I’m so excited for my dear clients to enjoy this lovely home!

Tracey grew up rooted in the rhythms of her family’s Iowa apple orchard, where rising with the sun instilled a deep work ethic and a grounded, thoughtful approach to life. That Midwestern foundation shapes the values that Tracey brings to her clients: compassionate guidance, perseverance and a commitment to making a difference for the people she serves.
With a degree in Architecture from Iowa State University and six years of experience in the architecture field, Tracey has a keen eye for design and a deep understanding of how homes are built—literally and metaphorically. In 2004, she transitioned into real estate, combining her technical expertise with a passion for helping people find a sense of sanctuary and belonging.
Tracey is known for her integrity, patience, and optimism, making her a trusted advisor and advocate for our clients. She thrives on helping people navigate important transitions, whether buying their first home, selling a cherished property or finding the perfect place to put down long-term roots.
Tracey is deeply connected to her community and is passionate about making a meaningful impact beyond real estate. She’s been a resident of the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood in SE Portland since 2002; you’ll often find her in her garden nurturing vegetables and flowers, hosting neighbors and friends, exploring Oregon’s great outdoors, or planning her next travel adventure. Through every step of her clients’ journeys, Tracey embodies the grounded guidance and thoughtful care that define Rooted Realty.
