"Proximity to the Alberta Arts District is a favorite of those looking for a home in an eclectic and bustling area of Portland, yet this house feels as if it's hidden in its own enchanted forest. Surrounded by towering trees, the setting is positively magical - but the shade from those trees (combined with the home's little diamond-shaped windows) means there's a lack of light inside."
"The parlor in this three-bed, two-bath, 2,480-square-foot house was full of striking original details, from clerestory windows above the built-ins to warm wood trim throughout. Before Reed came in to stage, the seller, who grew up in the home, put a fresh coat of white paint on the walls. She kept all of the original trim in its dark wood stain, which popped even more against the walls."
An early 20th-century Craftsman near Portland's Alberta Arts District sits amid towering trees and features small diamond-shaped windows that limit interior light. The seller applied fresh white paint while retaining original dark wood trim, which contrasted strongly with the brightened walls. The parlor contains clerestory windows above built-ins and rich wood detailing throughout. Designer Sarah Reed staged the three-bedroom, two-bath, 2,480-square-foot house to emphasize original moments and create a welcoming, light-filled feeling without removing historic elements. Staging choices drew from available inventory after an initial walkthrough to match scale and style.
