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 a gas furnace. Summers in Oregon tend to not be very hot with low humidity but we did add a window AC unit in the library bedroom last summer which is strong enough to keep the two bedrooms cooler during hotter weather that climate change is bringing us. We also provide fans to bring in cool air in evening on warm days.

Lovely home in beautiful neighborhood
My wife and I had a great stay, the home is large, private, clean, and has great outdoor space. Our hosts were very kind and thoughtful, offering recommendations for just about everything you could think of. We spent a week, it was a great home base for exploring Portland. Easy check in/check out. Would stay again without a doubt.

This is a beautiful place with a grand piano, lovely art and furniture and in a great neighborhood. The owners were friendly and walked us to the door, came to say goodbye, and helped us figure out parking. The neighborhood is quiet and full of wonderful homes and trees. They have an incredible selection of books. It was a bit cool inside, which we like, especially for sleeping. It was snowing in early March, which is unusual. Would definitely stay again!

Stanhope Cottage was our retreat during a hectic wedding weekend. We loved the quiet, leafy neighborhood, the amazing library of great books, the comfortable beds, strong shower, and well stocked kitchen. And best of all, that gorgeous piano. Thank you,
