A Homestead for Joy. (2 Bedrooms with 100 SQFT Den. Easily converted to 3 Bedrooms.)This is the home where the fire is always crackling and meals are gathered from the garden. Raised beds, currently filled with tender lettuces, line the front walk. Herbs and fruit trees are woven throughout a lovingly tended landscape — the cherry on top of this flourishing garden. Inside and out, the home reflects a life of care and intention. From rain barrels to an efficient wood fireplace insert, each element is rooted in conscientious living, in step with local resources and natural rhythms. The home itself is bright and joyful, deeply cared for, with original built-ins and subtle updates that connect past and present. A thoughtfully redesigned kitchen opens to an outdoor living and dining space, covered in architectural-grade translucent sheeting that allows for light-filled, protected gatherings through the seasons. An easy connection to the garden beyond. Set in Portland’s tiny Sumner neighborhood and a five minute walk to the Grotto, the home includes a one-year family pass to this peaceful destination. A place to tend, gather, grow, and live well. [Home Energy Score = 6. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10247985]
