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.

    This VRBO was an excellent choice for our family gathering. It was very clean, comfortable, in a safe location, and offered an abundance of dishware, cookware, utensils, and storage containers. Overall, a great stay!

    Beautiful property in a wonderful neighborhood in Portland. Great outside gardens and dining area under a magnificent giant tree. Lots of room for getting together with family from different parts of the country. House was very clean and had everything we needed, i.e., pots and pans, kitchen gadgets, coffee maker and grinder, electric teapot, pour over coffee, etc. Hosts Laurie and Matt were very helpful and friendly.

    My stay at the property was delightful. The home was everything I hoped for. It has character and is located in a wonderful neighborhood. It has easy access to many restaurants and shops, as well as a short commute to downtown and major freeways. Laurie was a fantastic host and was very welcoming! I would definitely stay here again!

    My sister and I came to Portland for our youngest sister's Memorial service. This has been a hard year. We decided to stay 8 days, spending 4 days visiting with family and 4 relaxing, walking, sightseeing and eating great food. This location was absolutely perfect! We walked to Jam on Hawthorne for a great breakfast and then walked to the Ladd Circle Rose Garden. We walked to Indian Oven for dinner. Grocery stores were close. We drove to downtown Portland which only took 15 to 20 min and went to the Saturday Market, Oregon Historic Museum, the Melting Pot Fondue Restaurant, to the riverfront for a luncheon cruise (best food of the trip) and to the Japanese Gardens. Location, location made our trip perfect. The house was comfortable. We enjoyed slow mornings and restful sleep. The beds and pillows were great. It was perfect for two sisters but would host a family as well. We didn't even use the upstairs. We rested and enjoyed Portland, thanks to this fabulous location. We highly recommend booking a stay.

    We stay here every year. We bring other family members to visit our adult children in the area. We love it. The house is perfect for our needs: clean, bright, spacious, comfortable, and well stocked. Laurie is lovely and helpful. There are improvements to the property every year, which means an already amazing stay keeps getting better. The location is convenient to great restaurants, shops, parks and walks. Use of the driveway and easy departures for day trips to vineyards, mountains, rivers, and the ocean make this a fantastic vacation spot.

    This home is an excellent location for a Portland stay. The kitchen is well furnished for cooking, the second bathroom downstairs has a cozy wall heater, the beds and linens are clean and comfortable, and we appreciated the non-toxic toiletries and dish cleaning products. Communication with the host is effortless.
