Growing Family Finds Perfect Grand Tudor in Multnomah Village

By Cristen Lincoln, June 1, 2018

Karan and his wife Katie are expanding their family. Their 2 year old daughter Vivian is going to be a big sister and they are all super excited! The’ve loved living in the heart of Mt Tabor near the park, but baby is coming, and they need more space! They also want a shorter commute, so they can have more family time and less driving time. Multnomah Village was a natural fit. With its bigger lots, and quaint business district, it has the feel they love about SE, but with a bit more elbow room and closer to work. Karan and Katie have a love for older homes and all the character they offer. They did not want a home built after the 1950’s. Multnomah Village has a good amount of more modern construction. With low inventory we knew it could be a challenge to find the perfect older home. Right away we got excited as we thought we found their dream home in an old tudor, walking distance to the village. We toured it immediately! It offered all the charm and amenities they were seeking. We were poised to write an offer only to learn the sellers were taking it off the market to make some repairs. They were going to take their time and wait to go back on the market in several months. We knew we had a timeline to keep with baby coming, so we stayed positive and kept hunting. We came across a grand tudor on an oversized lot with four large bedrooms that had seen a few price reductions. This house felt just like their current home only with a larger foot print and a bonus two car garage. It needs a bit of work, but it’s all manageable for Karan and Katie who are super home savvy. We were all thrilled when the seller accepted their offer. Karan, Katie and Vivian are excited to welcome their new bundle of joy, Nolen to their new home in southwest!
