Artist's Modern & Serene Home in Trendy Alberta Arts District

Situated on a bike street two blocks from the famous Alberta Street. This beautiful and spacious indoor/outdoor living space has three skylights with an open floor plan for comfortable and easy living. And the kitchen is designed for the gourmet with a steam oven and a De'Loghni coffee/espresso machine!

In the summer you'll find tomatoes, herbs, blueberries and figs in the garden for your pleasure! Enjoy eating inside or outside under the pavilion or under the fig tree!

THE SPACE
The 16 foot door opens for an 8 foot opening directly to the outdoors on the north side of our house. It feels special when you are in the space. This very unique design has the main living space sunken for a real feel of the outdoors. The heated concrete floors automatically come on for comfort on cooler nights. Another favorite is the bathroom which includes a rain/massage shower head and a skylight for natural light. The automatic ventilation system comes on when you are taking a shower and the tile floor is heated. PLUS, the kitchen is fabulous! I love to cook and have all of the best kitchen appliances and tools, including a steam oven, Vitamix, Kitchen-Aid mixer and many more.

The space includes the:
- entire private back yard with a fire pit, two large teak chairs with cushions, 2 teak dining chairs with arms and 4 without arms and a teak dining table under the pavilion.
- main sunken room with a living space and dining space
- comfortable murphy bed behind the large moving walls in the main room with a closet to hang your things
- the large kitchen which includes a small open space for storing things or you can use as an office space
- the modern tiled bathroom with a walk in shower, toilet and sink
- The utility space, which includes a european style washer/dryer.
The studios are closed off from the rest of the house and you will enter through the garden.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Our neighborhood is fantastic with some of Portland's best restaurants, bakeries, boutique shops and festivals. Alberta Street is three blocks away for easy access to everything. To mention a few, Petite Provence to indulge in fresh pastries; Salt and Straw for the most unique ice creams; many boutique shops, foot wear shops, art galleries, and a coffee shop on every corner. On the corner of 30th and Killingsworth is a network of great restaurants! If you are here on the last Thursday of the month in the summer, Alberta street shuts out car traffic and vendors with jewelry, pottery, artworks, food carts, dancers and street musicians fill the street for the festive 'Last Thursday'. Every Sunday from May to November, one block away from our house is a farmers market between 10am to 2pm with music, local foods and seafood.
OR, go west to the trendy Williams District which has many more restaurants, boutique shops and bars.
