Dunthorpe Tudor Delight

Posted on April 6, 2021 by Robin Hakeman

Once upon a time there was a house in the hills of Portland. It was a grand Tudor style home with expansive windows and a view of the trees and mountains. The home was impeccably cared for with high end remodeling in the kitchen and owner’s suite. Behind a gorgeous wood paneled wall in the living room was a secret door that revealed a spiral staircase down to a wine cellar. The backyard was like a park with pathways winding over a waterfall down to a Japanese style tea house and zen garden. It all felt so magical!

One day a very special family decided they wanted to make this house their home. They waited patiently for the power to come back on and trees to be cleared after one of the most destructive storms in Portland history. When they were finally able to visit the home they were in awe. The space is perfect for their family with room to grow. The grounds will be a place of adventure for their young daughter. They were fortunate to have their offer accepted by the seller & have big plans for their future in this storybook home!

Modern Living in Lake Oswego

Posted on February 10, 2021 by Robin Hakeman

This modern new construction home in Lake Oswego is perfect for my client. Over 4,000 square feet of open spaces, soaring ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. The owner’s suite and everything you need for everyday life sits on the main floor including a large office. One of the highlights is the elongated fireplace and stone hearth. It frames the great room perfectly and creates a warm inviting atmosphere.

I am so in love with this kitchen I now need to move myself! It features a 6 burner gas range from Italy, two full size sinks, two dishwashers, two ovens and a built in subzero refrigerator…plus cabinets for days. Next to the great room is also a wet bar area complete with a wine and beverage fridge & additional cabinetry for those special pieces.

The master suite is so spacious you could get lost in there. The bathroom features a large walk-in shower, heated tile floors, an oversized soaking tub & a closet as big as my current home office. Do you know how long I would linger getting ready on heated floors?!

Downstairs is like an entirely separate house, minus the kitchen. A second family room area with an equally impressive fireplace is set into gorgeous warm wood paneling. It’s modern without feeling too cold & I love that feel. There is a second master suite plus two additional bedrooms & a huge slider out to the deck.

Oh and there is a view. And a yard – which are normally two things that do not live at the same property unless you are in the country. Siiiiggggghhhh… one day I’ll be as cool as my clients. Right now I will just be happy for them.

Lucky in Lake Oswego

Posted on October 1, 2020 by Robin Hakeman

My lucky clients beat out 5 other offers to score this amazing home in Lake Oswego! We closed today and they are thrilled. After living in West Linn for the last 10 years they were ready to downsize and call LO home. The house is walking distance to the lively downtown area, the river and of course the lake. They will have access to 3 lake easements to enjoy life on the lake. One of their favorite things about the home are the huge windows leading to views of the lake. The home is light & bright with a ton of style. My clients have plans to remodel a few things and make it just right for their family – I cannot wait to share the before and after photos!

Timing is Everything in Lake Oswego

Posted on August 2, 2020 by Robin Hakeman

Timing is everything when you are trying to sell and buy a home during a global pandemic. We originally listed the Wood’s home in April but found that the timing wasn’t quite right for their higher price point home. We took a break and waited. In the mean time, the Wood’s tried not to fall in love with too many homes knowing that they still needed to sell theirs first.

By June with the market picking up again we decided to give it another try. We listed the third week of June with a new price & a refreshed front door, house numbers & lighting. Showing activity was up and we received an offer within the first week.

The Wood’s had been eyeing one particular home for a couple of weeks – a 1990’s home in Hallinan that was painted white & remodeled to perfection. By the time we went to see it, the price had dropped significantly and showing activity was way up. The Wood’s made a competitive offer and went pending the same day as their current home!

From the light oak front door to the fresh white paint & white oak floors throughout the home, everything has a zen like feel. The spaces are bright with tons of natural light – perfect for growing a plethora of plants. The master suite is it’s own special sanctuary with a remodeled bathroom and doors to the patio. The kitchen has been refreshed with marbled quartz counters and new appliances. The modern style of the home is everything that the Wood’s wanted.

As luck would have it, we closed on the Wood’s current house & the new house on the same day. Timing is Everything!
