Check out this light-filled mid-century Cape Cod in the heart of Concordia – an ideal setup for anyone who wants a cute, comfortable home – and add to that a fully private, detached ADU that brings in real monthly income. The ideal house for style, income, and space.
The main home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 baths with a smart layout that lives bigger than expected, anchored by a bright main level with an open pass-through connecting the kitchen and living room. The dining and living room flow together for easy everyday living and entertaining. Downstairs, the finished basement features two bedrooms, both with egress windows, a large bathroom, and a dedicated utility room plus great storage. The large fourth bedroom also works beautifully as a family room, media space, or entertainment room. The home has many updated items, a newer roof and furnace!
Outside, tucked off the paved alley sits the detached ADU, built in 2020, with true separation for privacy, giving you a fully detached living space with its own access. The ADU sits above a workshop/garage that is fully insulated for climate comfort and noise reduction, and has its own mini-split and a plethora of outlets, a creatives dream studio. Upstairs in the ADU is a unique vaulted living space with a lofted bedroom, open beams, large bathroom with full size laundry, huge kitchen area, and an amazing south-facing deck that spans the length of the home and brings in sunshine and fresh air.
The ADU currently rents for $1,800 per month, helping offset ownership costs and making the primary residence far more affordable. This could offset the primary home to be like buying a residence for under $400,000!!!. A rare chance to cut your monthly payment dramatically while owning an exceptional property.
Close to the U of O Concordia campus,, Tamale Boy, and the shops and restaurants around NE 18th and Dekum, Kennedy school, and everything Northeast Portland has to offer nearby.

Professional Service:
Finding an agent you are comfortable with is similar to, and as important, as your connection with a good attorney, accountant or financial adviser. It is my goal to help you make the best, informed decision regarding your real estate needs. Whether it is with a Buyer or a Seller, I enjoy working to help people achieve their goals. Communication is a very important aspect throughout the home buying and selling process, and I hope you find that I treat my clients with respect and show them the hard work and ethical standards that I use in my everyday practice. I enjoy working through the complexities of the transaction and have the ability to solve problems when they arise, and thrive on my ability to handle the details of a real estate transaction with professionalism, integrity and care. Like selling or buying a home, first impressions are paramount to the success of obtaining a sale. I hope that you find my professional image shines through, and that my over 18 years of real estate experience, knowledge and energy will be helpful and refreshing, as have many of my clients who have rewarded me through their repeated use and referrals.Love of Portland:
I work throughout the Portland Metro Area, and have lived on both the East and West sides of Portland. I am very excited to live in a city with so many beautiful homes and neighborhoods. I also love Oregon and am proud to be a life long Oregonian. I have moved back to neighborhood that my Father spent his childhood and am proud to share in the history where I live. I live 8 blocks from the church where my Aunt and Uncle were married in 1956. I also love the many activities and restaurants around Portland and the nearby outdoors that it has to offer. Whether shopping at New Seasons or a farmers market, enjoying the many great parks, Portland has a great progressive and environmental spirit that helps to make it such a wonderful place to live.More to me than real estate:
I am a former competitive Ultimate Frisbee player, and over the past few years have competed in marathons, triathlons, and other running events like the Hood to Coast. I have raised over $3000 for the Windermere Foundation through pledges from my family, friends and clients while running two Eugene Marathons. Also in 2011, I ran the New York City Marathon. In my spare time I enjoy running, hiking, playing soccer, Ultimate, and basketball. Basically, I like being active. I guess I need to, to keep up with my two amazing children, Elliott & Nao.Qualifications:
