The Home

Nestled gently between two grand trees and bathed in soft, natural light, this vintage mid-century condo invites you into a timeless retreat wrapped in calm and character. Located in the lovingly maintained Binford Condominiums, this home offers the rarest balance of privacy, simplicity, and community—quietly tucked into 6 acres of landscaped grounds in Portland’s beloved Rose City Park neighborhood.

The 1,050 square foot residence features two peaceful bedrooms tucked upstairs, creating a sense of separation from the open, light-filled living areas below. Original hardwood floors run throughout the home, while radiant floor and ceiling heating ensure cozy comfort through every season. Expansive new wood-framed floor-to-ceiling windows invite the outdoors in, opening to your private patio and a gated, park-like courtyard—a magical extension of your living space.

LIVING, DINING, & KITCHEN

An airy open-concept living and dining space welcomes you in, where warm wood finishes and natural textures meet soft, ambient light. The kitchen offers functionality with a nostalgic, vintage charm—lovingly maintained and ready for personalization. Every corner is thoughtfully designed to bring ease and grace to your daily rhythms.

Bedrooms & bath

Upstairs, two tranquil bedrooms are framed by views of leafy treetops and filled with light throughout the day. Each room features floor-to-ceiling closets and ceiling fans for comfort. The well-kept bathroom offers clean simplicity and a perfect canvas for subtle updates to reflect your own personal style.

bonus spaces & outdoor living

From your private back patio, step directly into a lush, fully enclosed courtyard—secure and serene, ideal for reading under the trees, enjoying a picnic, or watching the sunset. The outdoor space is pet- and child-friendly, with locked entry for peace of mind.

• Dedicated 3.2' x 7.8' storage unit (No. 31)

Living Large in a Low-Impact Footprint

A POEM FOR THE HOME;

thread dawn rise

the place says gather

it opens to threads of cloth

we want to be held

want a million blooms from the Oak

a drift of stars among our arms

thread reach among to a sun climb glide

as we lay out our lives 

among boards of oak floors inside

lady light walks the ceiling with white gloves

melds dance among curve rooms

silent calm leaps windows and walls to our arms

we all have the ability to reach

to gather threads, spool a wool home

pull your hand in the glass, a wind elegant

green bird in the leaves

hosts a self to be as wish

we as do birds, find our place

a cloth of petals sews sky 

light calm falling through eye

we are woke like a horse, in the bridle of home

shelter among the city realm

holds the clocks arms for a breath

facing the reach

petals drift from the center

days fold, a walk and sit

as an animal slow waking

we find the held moment thread

as a bird, we find our spot

the lady of life made of our walk

to wish repetition here, the window to stay

there is no one here, just hope and home

light sieves in our fingers

windows square a shelf of threads

this is what we need

the place to reach what can flower
