Featured in the NY Times!
This gorgeous custom home is the biggest little house on the block with raw wood throughout, a chefs kitchen, and a bed you won't want to leave. In the heart of Alberta you're a short walk from food, drink, parks and art.

The space
This home was expertly designed and built by our family and completed in 2013.

The southern window wall attracts frequents admirers from the street, and bathes the home in a warm glow.

We built our home with food in mind, and the kitchen is well stocked with a five burner gas range, tons of butcher block counter space and big island for all your portland inspired culinary adventures. You're just a short walk from farmers markets and New Seasons, our exceptional local grocery store.

Throughout the home you'll find exposed Doug Fir, Walnut, Oak and Cherry and a Jotul wood stove to keep you warm at night.

The sofa bed turns in to a comfortable queen sized bed for additional guests.

Guest access
Full access to the home. Everything is exclusive to you, no shared areas.
