Cool Cat Cinder Closes on Charming Condo

Posted on by Mel Marzahl

“Cinder” is the name of the very lucky cat who will be inhabiting my most recent sale. His new home will be a studio condo in a vintage building in NW Portland. It comes with four big, sunny windows that overlook a courtyard. Perfect for lounging in sun spots and spying on birds from. He hopes his mom, Sylvia, will build him a shelf with a rope to climb up to the top of the 9.5 ft tall ceilings. Now that she has a parking spot, she can get home from work quickly to play and give pets. Since there’s a storage unit too, he expects they will never run out of cat treats and toys, as she can keep it well stocked for him.

Unfortunately, I have not had the pleasure of meeting Cinder just yet. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with his family though. I helped his owner, Sylvia, and her parents Katelyn and Michael, buy his new home. We looked all over NW Portland for a building with 1920s vintage charm. Sylvia loves the vibe of these old buildings with their high ceilings and ornate lobbies. Katelyn and Michael love that they are able to secure Sylvia (and Cinder) a nice place she can make her own.

After not being able to reach an agreement with the seller of a condo in another building, I was thrilled to see they found one that was an even better fit! The location is incredible, and other residents of the building we met all had great things to say about living there. When Katelyn, Sylvia, and I met at this place, I knew it was the right one. I took finding this one as a reminder that while a sale falling apart, is a bummer, it usually means there is another place out that’s even better!

I was so excited to meet the whole family yesterday evening. We went up to the condo to set up a little wine and cheese plate to welcome Sylvia home with. She met us there and we cheers to their closing on this charming vintage studio!

From what I’ve heard, Cinder will love it.
