This Sunday in Lake Oswego there are 17 open houses scheduled, including my own at 4216 Albert Circle. This is a great house, all on 1-level, with some great features for $459,000. I’ll be there from noon to 2pm. You’ll find my directional signs on Bryant Rd. Please come on by!
Last fallIt is a pleasure to share with you this gorgeous house at 4216 Albert Circle. This house is located in the Bryant Neighborhood, a well-established and quiet area that is close to Lakeridge Junior High School.
TodayThe house was built in 1980. It has a floor plan that is perfect for entertaining with rooms flowing one to another without dead-ends. There are expansive vaulted ceilings with 7 solar tubes to let in lots of natural light. There is a 2-sided fireplace that opens on one side to the family room and on the other side to a cozy inglenook in the living room.
The kitchen has been tastefully remodeled with tile backsplash, composite “Riverbed” counters, a garden window, and a pantry. The eat-in nook has wainscoting.
The house has 3 bedrooms, including a large master suite. The master suite has a full bath with double sinks and a walk-in closet.
Vaulted Living RoomWith gas heat and central air, you’ll stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There is also circulating hot water for instant hot water from every tap. The circulation is on a timer for energy efficiency.
The house has great storage inside as well as in a full wall of cabinets in the garage.
I think what I like best about this house is the garden. It has been lovingly cared for and is beautifully landscaped. It is level and fully fenced. I am including photos I took last fall so that you can see the house at it’s prime.
KitchenOffered at $459,000, the house has 2130 square feet.
I will be holding this house open this Sunday, February 16th, from noon to 2pm. I hope you will come on by!
Hello to all our Property Blotter Readers! Apologies for taking a break during last week’s “Snowpocalypse” : ) But as usual, we weathered it just fine, and got to enjoy some snow days & down time for a short spell. Dianne and I were out with our winter tires though, sloshing & sliding through the snow to keep Inspection Appointments etc. With all that weather fun, real estate keeps rolling right along (though Open Houses were significantly affected : )
Here is your Latest Market Data: Last week in Lake Oswego we saw 12 New properties enter the market, 19 move to Pending status, and 3 “Closed”/Sold.
Following is the breakdown according to RMLS:

Hallinan HeightsLake Oswego has 25 individual neighborhoods and this week we are going to feature Hallinan Heights. Both Linda and I love this neighborhood, there is just something about it.
I think it’s unique boundaries are part of why it is so great. It is clearly defined by the Willamette River to the East, Oswego Creek and McVey to the North, Cornell Rd to the West, and Upper Cherry Rd to the South. It’s not a large neighorhood, but within it is a wonderful Elementary School and a very nice Park. It has a real feeling of community where people walk their dogs and picnic.
Hallinan Elementary SchoolMy kids did not live within the Hallinan Elementary School attendance area, but the play ground at Hallinan Elementary was hands down their favorite. We would drive across town to play on it. It’s a BIG playground with a great variety of equipment. As my kids got older, I learned to love it because it is adjacent to the playing field which has a great walking trail around it. So my kids could be playing and I could be taking a nice walk within sight of them.
The real estate in Hallinan Heights includes one very nice condominium complex on the Willamette River, Oswego Terraces. Built in the 1950’s, these mid-century buildings are solid and sleek. There are currently 3 condos for sale in the mid $250,000’s. While none of the waterfront units are currently for sale, when they do come along they boast some of the finest river views in the entire metro area. The complex is uniquely situated on a curve in the river that looks directly North to downtown Portland.
Wide StreetsMost of the single family homes were built in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The wide streets have well landscaped and tidy yards. There are currently 8 homes for sale. The least expensive is 2442 square feet, all on one level, and is listed for $399,900. The most expensive is 3700 square feet of new construction with river and mountain views for $1,225,000.
My final boast for Hallinan Heights is that it is close to downtown Lake Oswego. Whether you want quick access to great restaurants, or you want to walk along the river at George Rogers Park, you are right there. I would estimate that you could walk to the Farmer’s Market at Millenium Plaza Park within about 20-30 minutes. Nice!
Do not hesitate to contact Linda or myself if you would like more information.
