Quick sale of cool, modest, urban farmhouse shows Woodlawn’s emerging popularity!

Between Piedmont and Concordia you will find Portland’s Woodlawn district in the Vernon neighborhood. Doug and I were delighted to list a home here, a groovy pad with a decidedly Urban Farm appeal belonging to Karen and Monica. This was a cozy, remodeled Victorian with raised beds for veggies and a roost for three gorgeous ducks. Art from Monica’s sister was displayed throughout the home, and the funky and eclectic interior delighted the eyes. Interest from Buyers was HUGE – the home sold for more than asking on it’s second day! We celebrated at the truly wonderful Dekum Triangle Firehouse restaurant. Though Doug and I were sad to see Monica and Karen move away to NY, their’s is a happy story, and largely indicative of today’s RE market where quality homes that are priced right will sell quickly. And, of course, location is huge, and Woodlawn is quite desirable today.

The Dekum Triangle development is part of the community’s master plan devised by Emmons Architects. The plan comes courtesy of a very thoughtful and active neighborhood association which was proactive as they considered their evolution. Check them out at GoWoodlawn.com. It’s a great part of town with a beautiful park, shops and eateries. And at least three lovely ducks.
