It All Weaves Together

Jiro, a renowned woven bamboo sculpture artist, with shows in galleries around the world, and his amazing wife Kate, spend most of their time living in Japan, but love to come back to Portland for extended stays with their daughter Nina, her husband, David, and the evermore adorable baby Ramona.

After selling their family home 5 years ago, and purchasing an updated bungalow in N Portland, this multigenerational household needed more space, especially after Ramona arrived.  Plus David and Nina now found themselves with great jobs in SW, too far from their Kenton home.  They needed a place closer to work, and with enough room for Jiro and Kate’s extended stays.

But the Kenton home needed to be sold, and SW home needed to be found.

After preparing their N Portland home, and getting it on the market, the search began, and it was not long before they found the perfect place, on a dead end street, with a big backyard. It was so quiet!  Plus they had found a special mid century daylight ranch, with living spaces on two levels!!!

Of course this purchase depended on the sale of their home; a Contingent Purchase – and navigating these types of transactions can sometimes be a bit more harrowing – with two sets of timelines, extra sets of wants and needs, and simply more players in the mix.

This transaction was not without its sticky spots. Patience was tested. But, positivity prevailed!

And now we are happy to say that Nina, David, & Ramona have their quiet, SW home, and Jiro and Kate have plenty of space to stay when they visit. It all weaves together.
