About this property
Sunny 1400 SQFT Dutch Colonial in Portland Heights - 5 min to downtown, NW 23rd
Sunny Stanhope Cottage is a sunny, spacious 120 year old Dutch Colonial Duplex in the beautiful, peaceful, historic Portland Heights neighborhood overlooking downtown Portland.
We are located in a quiet historic neighborhood, surrounded by nature, with plenty of space to go on walks and bike riding but close to downtown and restaurants. Bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks and deer can be spotted as well as many song birds. With our two outdoor decks and large kitchen and living room it is a perfect place to relax with your family.
The duplex is only 5 minutes (just over a mile) to the shops, restaurants and cafes of the Alphabet District (NW 23rd), downtown and Pearl. Close to OHSU and PSU. The 1400 square foot lower duplex is available year round for stays up to 5 weeks and features an open floor plan, two decks with site views up to Council Crest, southern exposure for sun all day long, two bedrooms with queen beds, a fold down couch bed for one more person in the living room, a beautiful dinning room for 8 people, a fully equipped kitchen (perfect for home cooked meals) and a very large living room. Great for family gatherings for holidays, showers, weddings, graduation, etc.
Please note that the bedrooms are organized in a tandem layout with a hall to the bathroom between them. So our place is better for single couples, families and groups of friends than for two unrelated couples who may want privacy during sleep hours. Per city regulation our max occupancy is 5 overnight.
The immediate neighborhood offers excellent walking, jogging and biking along tree lined streets filled with beautiful old Portland homes. Council Crest (Portland's highest point) and Washington Park Rose Garden are 20 minutes by foot. The Vista Spring Cafe is a 5 minute walk away and close to the bus stop for line 51.
The duplex also features a 7 foot Mason Hamlin Piano which is available to serious pianists with advance notice. A guitar is available to all. Keith and Rocio are your hosts. We live in the upper duplex. We are quiet and work full time but friendly and helpful if you need us. House is equipped with a stereo and smart tv with basic cable only (bring your books or tablet for streaming) and it has central heat and air conditioning via our new heat pump. Summers in Oregon tend to not be very hot with low humidity. We also provide both fans and space heaters in addition to the heat pump.

Great Stay. Thank You Keith for checking on us and leaving brochures, menues & books on the City. Lovely cottage. Got a lot of use out of the Kitchen. Wish the weather would have cooperated so we could have used the deck.Thank You
The house was very close to downtown Portland as well as Washington Park. Home is beautiful and in great shape. Keith is an excellent host, very engaging and just a nice guy.

Thank you for staying with us. We enjoyed meeting you.!
The property was furnished comfortably and with much charm. It was homey and better than home in some ways, it felt like a retreat. The neighbourhood was fantastic, good walks to see homes with character, unique gardens and great views of the mountains. The host was personable and warm, making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. As music lovers, our two sons were offered the privilege of playing the precious piano placed in the unit. Altogether it was a wonderful stay to remember. Thank you Keith and Rocio.
Spacious, charming, quiet and convenient to downtown attractions

Thanks for staying with us. Just FYI we just installed a new heat pump with central AC. You were first guests to use it. It was not set up quite right during your visit but we have it tuned up now. Keith
This home was over-the-top fabulous. It had everything we needed plus more. The neighborhood was fabulous. The host responded very quickly. I would highly recommend the Dutch colonial home. Very convenient to all things. We will be back!

Thanks so much for staying with us! Sorry we did not know someone unplugged the TV.
We had a sporting event at Multnomah Athletic Club and the house was in a perfect location only minutes away. Had all the amenities we needed. Great neighborhood central to the zoo and many other activities.
