This condo is more than just a dwelling; it's a sanctuary waiting to be embraced as home. Originally transformed from an apartment building in 2006, these condos rest gracefully along the banks of Crystal Springs Creek, surrounded by meticulously manicured landscapes lovingly tended to by the HOA. Comprised of owners who have nurtured their friendships since college, this community embodies a rare sense of camaraderie and shared purpose.
Nestled within the heart of Portland, this residence stands as a testament to the city's hidden treasures. Such properties are a rarity in themselves, but what truly sets this one apart is its symbiotic relationship with nature. Here, amidst the urban bustle, Chinook salmon navigate the waters, while Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons gracefully soar above, lending an ethereal quality to this urban oasis.
Authors Notes
Functionality - Functionally, this condo and its surroundings exude well-being. With so many windows, you are privy not only to vast amounts of dappled shade allowing the perfect amount of light through, but also the always babbling creek. There is communal deck that sits partially over the creek and the condo itself has its own private deck situated in the trees overlooking the creek. This property functionally allows one to be well.
Aesthetics - The floor plan creates an attitude that translates to the 1,066 square feet feeling boastful in the best way possible. It would not be hard to fill the space that captures the beauty of the creek and allow that to seep into the rest of the home. To draw attention to the creek, establish a focal point around the sliding glass by putting furniture around and not in the way of the path leading to the deck from the kitchen.
History - Originally, this was an apartment complex from 1975 till 2006 when they were converted to condos in 2006. Since then, the owners who’ve made up the HOA have been tending to this area with the dedication of monks to a monastery.
