UPDATE: THIS HOME HAS SOLD

This mid century modern home listing found it’s way to my inbox via repdx (thanks for the tip!), the photos were amazing so I had to head out and see it for myself.  The company that is selling the home, Phoenix Redevelopment Inc., buys and refurbishes properties all over Portland.  I have seen a lot of their listings and they typically renovate older homes, this is the first time that I have seen a mid century modern home in their line up (I could be wrong).  Usually one cringes when they see the words “renovate” when paired with “mid century” because a lot of people upgrade to a newer look instead of restoring the original concept. Phoenix did a good job restoring this Rummer, they have kept as much original detail as possible i.e. sliding doors, floor to ceiling windows, exposed beam ceiling, cement floors, radiant heat and have paired it with tasteful modern fixes where preservation was not possible.  Some of the upgrades include: new roof, newer bath fixtures (dual flush toilets), on demand water heater, exterior window upgrade,  new cork floors, recycled glass kitchen counters (sparkly!), updated electric more details here.  If you are wondering what is a Rummer home (rhymes with summer)? Here is the answer.

P.S. if you love all things Rummer, stay tuned, we will be announcing some fun Rummer events coming up in the next couple of months!
