Urban Oasis in the heart of SE Portland. Modern and homey and brand new, this is the perfect spot to settle in and experience the charm of Portland in one of the best neighborhoods. Throughout the carefully and lovingly curated space you will find delightful attention to detail. Local suppliers and craftsman have added unique warmth. The space is so relaxing and inviting and in the perfect location- you will fall in love with Portland never want to leave. Our 800 sq. ft. space has everything you will need for a relaxing stay. Custom white oak countertops, bath vanity and windowsills soften the modern lines. Eco-friendly soft cork floors, and custom gas fireplace and large window totally erase the basement feel. Compact euro appliances, spa bath with two shower heads, double sinks, Pratt and Larsen hand-made tile and rejuvenation fixtures will add to the experience. Our small kitchen has every modern convenience you could ask for including custom white oak and solid surface counters, brand new compact refrigerator, dishwasher, and full size stove and oven. Floating shelve hold all of your dishes and plates and the kitchen is fully equipped with cooking supplies and utensils including toaster and microwave. The living room and dining area are brought together with a cozy gas fireplace. The generous walnut dinning room table is ample for four and can be the perfect spot to play games and puzzles, or as a work area. Unlike many basements in an old home we have a brand new foundation which allowed us to bring lots of light in with large windows, a full light front door, no water issues, up to date wiring and insulation, and best of all, high ceilings! The two bedrooms are super warm and cozy with personal heaters in each room, large closets, comfortable beds, and high-end linens. The master bedroom has a Queen sized bed and two closets- one with lots of storage shelves and rods. The other holds a brand new stacking washer and dryer. To enter your apartment you will go through a large custom metal gate that leads to a spectacular garden. Follow the modern concrete pads to the stairs to the basement apartment. There will be a small outdoor patio at the bottom of the stairs for you to enjoy a morning cup of coffee, or a glass of wine, in the evening. Our yard is used mostly by our kids, and so not considered shared. Of course, we want you to feel at home, and are happy to have you wonder a round a bit, and enjoy the gardens. Its also possible we will be out of town, and are happy to have you using the space. We live above the listed unit and can be reached by phone, text and email to respond to questions, or if you need assistance. We may be traveling during your stay, but if we are home you will hear us a bit as we are an active family of four with two boys. Our neighborhood is ideal for exploring Portland, or just hanging out. You can be in Mt. Tabor Park in just 5-10 minutes. Our property also backs up to Clinton Park, a very popular green space with a running track, play areas, and basketball courts. We are just off the hustle and bustle of Division Street where you can easily assess a bus to take you down the street to the countless bars and restaurants, or downtown. Easily walk or bike to popular bakeries, neighborhood grocery stores, food carts and restaurants. Rain or Shine Coffee house is across the street and is one of three walk able coffee shops, including Stumptown Coffee. Walk and bike options galore in South Tabor. We are very close to Trimet bus line #2 and bike routes on Clinton St. and Lincoln. Street parking generally available all hours. Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns you may have. We are experienced Air BnB travelers and hosts, and make every effort to set up an experience for guests like we would want to receive.
