We are located in Beaverton, just 15 minutes to downtown Portland. Our beautiful updated 4 bedroom home backs to a forest park, with miles of hiking and biking trails literally out our back door. Very private yard filled with bird song. Public transportation is 2 blocks away. Excellent and very safe family neighborhood. Kitchen, family room and 3 baths all recently remodeled.
The space
2550 sq. Ft of space over 4 bedrooms plus an office, 2.5 baths all updated, great large updated kitchen, living room & open concept family room. Two large HDTV’s with Hulu, Netflix, Prime , plus full channel lineup. The outdoor space is a sanctuary, with beautiful gardens, a lighted patio, fire pit, barbecue grill. Truly feels like a sanctuary, yet do close to the town center of Beaverton
(home of Nike) and Portland. Its all easy care: gardens are fully on sprinklers and a maintenance man twice a month at our expense, just relax and enjoy the beauty and the serenity. We’ll even cover the cost of a housekeeper twice per month.

Ken and Sylvia were the perfect house guests. It went pretty smoothly overall, considering this is our second home exchange. We communicated well beforehand and throughout the exchange. They definitely treated our home as if it were their own. They even a lovely parting gift! Such a lovely couple.
Esther's home is beautiful and so well updated and maintained. the kitchen has every tool you could want and the bathroom updates are top of the line. The location is quiet yet just across the street from the most beautiful park and there are many restaurants and shops within an easy walk. As a host, Esther has thought of everything to make our stay pleasant and she is an excellent communicator. Thanks so much!
