About 4157 SE Brooklyn St, Unit West Roost with parlor

*Relocating? How about landing in a great neighborhood that gives you a comfortable, centrally-based home while you search and explore? *When will your remodeling ever end!? Since you must live elsewhere, how about a brand-new unit that offers flexible timing, and owners who understand your challenges? * Here on a work contract, with no local people you know? Do you want a quiet nest, maybe a walkable neighborhood, or a base for exploring more of PDX and Oregon? How ‘bout a sweet place that offers you the best of every option? Welcome to The Roost in the Richmond neighborhood. It’s a great place to settle in and make yourself at home. You’ll have a sweet, affordable unit with the privacy you need. You’re close to many neighborhood basics and fun options (more on that later), and you live near a couple who has done just what you’re doing. We get it! Our bright and sunny 1,100sf ADU downstairs has 2 sets of private 1B/1bath quarters with separate parlors, plus an outdoor patio and rain porch. It’s all fresh and new construction. The Roost was uniquely designed for wonderful privacy and good storage, with just the right bit of shared time at the kitchen center if someone else is in the other unit. Come take a look. The Western unit is slightly larger, and would be great for a couple, or someone needing a bit more room. Full of light, it’s a lovely 1-Bedroom, with full bath and a private parlor where you can watch TV, relax or do a project. Sometimes, there may be a single guest in the eastern quarters across the kitchen. If so, you share the kitchen cook center and sink, and dining areas, keeping your own fridge and personal shelves. And, as a thank you, your rent goes down $170/month to $1,700. Your private lockable double doors open onto the large kitchen with island and dining space. Leaving the doors open creates a nice daytime flow. When needed, you can close the doors for more intimate, sweet private time in your parlor. More particulars: ~ In the kitchen you have your own full-sized fridge and many personal shelves to stock when you shop. You have a range, microwave, dishwasher, plus all the typical small appliances for easy meal prep- there’s even popped corn popper for movie-watching nights! The kitchen has some starter spices and supplies to let you begin cooking. Dining can seat 6, and your private parlor has a folding table for more intimate dining if desired. ~ Your private 1Bedroom unit with parlor gives you a Queen bed with USB charging station, and a full bath (Yes it has a tub as well as a shower!) The parlor has a sofa and seating, your own TV, a desk for your computer and work needs, a folding table, and lots of new grounded outlets for everything you need. No running extension cords to reach the few outlets in older homes. Soft carpeting throughout. And fast fiber Wi-Fi, of course. And light, light, light! We built over-sized windows in the South-facing walls to let the light pour in, especially in our gray Portland winters. The building inspector who did our final inspection, who has seen thousands of ADUs and new construction sites, walked into the ADU and said, “Those are some big f….ing windows!” We’re sure you’ll enjoy them, too. ~ The ADU is fully insulated and comfy, with separate heating/cooling heads throughout. The massive insulation keeps down sound between floors, cools the ADU in our newly-hot Portland summers, and warms up quickly in chilly weather when needed. ~ We’re creatives who live upstairs. We work in several media and fields, so naturally we’ve included a fold-down table in your parlor to work on creative projects, if you’re so inclined. If you have one and are game to share, bring your portfolio; we’d love to see what you do. ~ Entry to the ADU is through a sunny patio that also has a covered rain porch, so you can sit outside in most weather. We all share the washer/dryer in the garage …and we’re also setting up a wet, messy creative work area back there to play in soon! You will love this walkable neighborhood. We looked for months, renting in many Portland neighborhoods ourselves and we ultimately chose the Richmond District and The Roost! The property is on the sunny part of a residential street, with no arterial noise and traffic. Yet we’re walking distance to both the Division/Clinton and Foster/Powell districts. Walk to grocery stores like Safeway and Natural Grocer, and have a Trader Joe’s, a Fred Meyer, and a New Seasons just up and down the main arterial, Cesar Chavez Blvd. The Division/Clinton (Richmond District) is one of the largest and most varied of Portland’s neighborhoods. You’ll have tasty food pods--hidden down alleys and behind stores--a useful hardware store, a wine seller, many coffee shops, a bakery, a beloved pie place, donut shops, so many great restaurants and pubs, and two theaters nearby that pair their screenings with live events. There’s a Powell’s Bookstore not far, banks, clothing stores and thrift shops. Plus, art classes and a great craft school, public parks and a pool within walking distance. Also, you can easily walk to ice cream, frozen custard, and gelato. (Ask us how we know!) You’ll be centrally located here with quick access to the East and West sides of the river. So, you can easily explore and play in the many neighborhoods of Portland—make your world as large as you want it to be. Walk to an express FX2 bus stop, and you can be in Downtown in minutes for all that offers. Or stay snuggled up at The Roost. In the Richmond, it’s rare to find a rental unit that’s not on a busy arterial. Yet here you can enjoy the quiet comfort of our residential street. Then jump into as much of the Richmond district goings-on as you wish. The choice is yours! Logistics: We recently lost our little pooch, so no pets for now. Also, there’s no smoking or vaping on the property. We must ask for a 30-day minimum but hope for a longer-term stay when there’s a good fit. So, if your work contract is extended, we can be flexible. If you still haven’t found that right place to buy or your construction project runs longer than you expected, we feel your pain! Stay longer at The Roost. And if you fall in love with Richmond and The Roost and just want to stay longer, or want to rent both suites, let’s talk. Please bring yourselves and your passions to The Roost. We can’t wait to meet you!
