Quaint private cottage apt. in highly desirable area, close to everything

This quaint 1 bedroom furnished apt. is located downstairs in our historic brick English tudor home. You have a separate key, private entrance, and courtyard. The space is well-lit with two windows and has a back door to a beautiful garden and patio in the backyard as well as a side door to the courtyard. We also use very careful required sanitation procedures between guests!
Our home is located Laurelhurst, a registered historic district. Laurelhurst is one of Portland's oldest and most beautiful planned communities. We are located on a quiet, tree lined street within 10 minutes of the city and 15 min. from the airport. Major shopping, wonderful restaurants and one of Portland's most beautiful parks are all within walking distance. This ideal location is only two blocks from a several bus lines and 5 blocks from the MAX (light rail train) The MAX can take downtown in the matter of minutes . It is also within walking distance of favorite east side shopping and dining areas, including Hawthorne, Belmont and 28th street.
When you enter this charming mid-century decorated apartment you will immediately feel at home! You will find a comfortable queen sized bed, overstuffed chair and desk with mesh internet service. Good size TV Roku access, DVD player(some DVD's available) in the bedroom. The nicely tiled bathroom has a tub and shower. Although there is not a separate "living room" you will find the apartment very cosy and comfortable. The kitchen has a dining space, there is a pantry that is furnished with everything you may need to make your own meals if you choose (i.e. microwave, gas stove, refrigerator, blender, coffee maker, dishes, pots/pans, spices, condiments, etc.). Other amenities include a private courtyard, and your own large washer/dryer in the apt. Easy walking distance to several bus stops, light rail train (MAX), restaurants and shopping.
More information on our historic home can be found on Oregon Encyclopedia website. Search for "Brick House Beautiful". Our home has also been in "Better Home and Gardens" magazine and has been twice on the cover of "Old House Journal". If we are home when you arrive and your interested, we are happy to give you a tour of our home. During the warm weather months we maybe hanging out in our back garden area and you are welcome to join us if you like. If you prefer you can hang out in the side courtyard without our presence. But you are always welcome to check out the backyard English gardens, hangout around the firepit or use the barbecue during your stay.
We think you will be pleased if you choose to stay in the "Quaint English Garden Apartment " located in our beautiful historic home!

Nice Valentine’s Day weekend.

We loved the spot, super cute with vintage furniture! It was a little difficult finding where we supposed to go when we first got there, but that’s only because we showed up very late at night and got a bit lost in the fairytale-esque courtyard.

Staying at “Brick House Beautiful” was truly a joy! The English cottage apartment is decorated in a charming vintage style. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen, Keurig pods, very comfortable bed and all of the little touches that make you feel at home. The gardens and outdoor spaces are beautiful and lovingly cared for. Bob and Ann take great pride in their home, are attentive to their guests and easy to communicate with. Thank you for making our time in Portland so memorable.

Lovely stay

Had a nice time staying at this house. Laurelhurst is super pretty and was close to a lot of good food and neat stores. The neighborhood was nice to walk through and it was just a great break from the snow in my neck of the woods. House was as described, clean and cozy.
