About this property
Quiet Retreat at the Heart of th Best of Inner SE Portland
A classic mid century brick home in the heart of some of the best restaurants and night life in Portland. The comfortable home sleeps six with a sunny patio to enjoy, and peaceful yard with a giant Deodora cedar tree.
You’ll be located a block from the junction of 28th and Belmont on a picturesque residential street, with easy access to the Belmont district, 28th Avenue “Restaurant Row”, Kerns, Burnside, Hawthorne and Division St/Clinton districts. If you are comfortable walking, cycling, and taking the bus you don’t need a car. The bus 15 is a block away, and takes you downtown, and to the Pearl District and NW 23rd, and connects with the light rail system (MAX), in the other direction it takes you to Mt Tabor Park. It takes about 45 minutes to walk the 2.2 miles to downtown’s Pioneer Courthouse Square along a pleasant route. Laurelhurst Park and Colonel Summers Park are each within 10 blocks. Whole Foods, and Safeway grocery stores are about a half mile. New Seasons and Fred Meyers grocery stores are about a mile away.
The specifics ... this mid century duplex was designed by the architect who lived next door, for his son. The units are side by side, and sited on a peaceful 14,000 sq ft lot. The large yard provides a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. The current owners live in the other half of the duplex, and are happy to be a resource for information and advice on your stay in Portland. The home is approximately 1500 sq ft with 2 bedrooms on the main floor, each with a queen sized bed. Upstairs is a bedroom with 2 twin sized beds. The main floor bathroom is opposite the bedrooms, and at the base of the stairs from the upstairs bedroom. The main floor has hardwoods throughout. The living room has two couches and chairs and opens to a sunny front porch sitting area. The dining room has a table that sits six. There is a flat screen TV with network and internet TV. Comcast internet and WiFi is available. There’s a full kitchen with all the basics to cook for your self but with all the fun food choices in walking distance you’ll be tempted to eat out or order in. The basement has an informal family room and full bathroom with stand alone shower (no tub). The basement also provides bike storage, and a laundry area. There is a high efficiency gas forced air furnace, and central air conditioning. One main floor bedroom has a height adjustable desk and desk chair. The other main floor bedroom has a small desk.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Laurie and Matt
Matt grew up in Portland, and after traveling and exploring, we are very happy to be home again in Portland.
Why they chose this property
This is a great spot to live, and to appreciate the best of what Portland has to offer. Once we are home at the end of the work day we can ditch our cars and walk to everything we need, great grocery shopping, parks, restaurants, bakeries and dessert spots, bars, and nightlife. There is more to do in our neighborhood than we have time to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
The City of Portland supports vibrant neighborhood shopping districts and SE Portland has some of the best. One of the things that makes this policy possible is the density, and short blocks. Most homes are tightly grouped with small yards. We have the luxury of a large yard, anchored by a giant Deadora Cedar, allowing a place to enjoy the outside just out the back door.
