Full Circle back to a Sellwood Sweetie

By Alyssa Isenstein Krueger, April 23, 2018

 

When Justin and Virinia met a few years ago, Virinia was living in a perfect little place in Sellwood and while living there, they both grew to love the neighborhood. For a lot of folks, Sellwood feels like the yesteryear small town where everyone knows everyone on the block, the sun shines a little brighter, and the grass grows a little greener. After getting married, they moved to an apartment off Hawthorne,with the goal of one day moving back to Sellwood in a home of their own.

After being referred to me from some wonderful past clients, we met at a local coffee shop and three weeks later they had an accepted offer on a 3 bed 2 bath old bungalow in Sellwood. A huge part of why they wanted to purchase in Sellwood was to be a part of a close-knit community, and during their home inspection, we discovered that the local elementary school bus stops right in front of their house, so twice a day, all of the kids from the surrounding blocks and their parents gather in front of the house. Now for some folks, this might be a little much, but for Virinia and Justin this is exactly the kind of place they were looking for. The way the house sits on the lot, the sunny yard is mainly in front of the house surrounded by a white picket fence. Between the elementary bus stop in front of the house and the big sunny front yard, with summer approaching, their desire to really be engaged and immersed in their new neighborhood should be a slam dunk.
