Our Ranch Featured in Atomic Ranch Magazine
We are the proud owners of a remodeled ranch featured in the Fall issue of Atomic Ranch magazine. The feature is called Bright Idea, the idea being ‘let’s remodel since we have to re-pipe the house!’ The bright part must refer to our committment to light coming through big windows, because I am not convinced it was a super smart thing to do. Our choice to do something so extreme was exciting to be sure. After living in the house for 10 years, we had a number of ideas about what to do. However the real impetus to do everything at once was made because the process of remodelling was CRAZY, and we knew we never wanted another contractor to step foot in the house again.
By being published, our decisions are now put before the public. (Boy, the debate between the Restore vs. Remodel camps is robust.) We love mid-century homes whether they are time capsules, or have been redone. The designs tend toward open plans, public rooms separate from private rooms, hardwood floors, and picture windows making the houses extremely easy to live in. The construction tends to be excellent, although you should expect some plumbing issues at some point if the home still has galvanized pipes (as we know firsthand.)
Portland has ranches and mid-century homes in almost every neighborhood. If this is what you’re looking for, let us know. We can help you find your dream home, just like we found ours. And if you own an Atomic Ranch already, and are thinking of selling, we speak the language and would love to list it for you.
In somber times, the optimism of the Atomic Age can be a fun reminder that nothing lasts forever. Cheers!
