2847 NW Savier St

This stand-alone backyard cottage/ADU home is available JULY 6TH. Are you looking for a home that feels like peaceful retreat in the city with a lot of privacy? Are you tired of poorly planned, poorly built, poorly maintained living spaces and extra fees? Tired of shared walls and the crime in the Pearl/city core? Tired of unresponsive landlords and property managers? If you answered yes to any of the above keep reading. This just might be exactly what you've been looking for... You just found a stunning & spacious 1 bedroom, 1 bath detached ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) home in the NW District. The attention to detail inside and out of this stand-alone air-conditioned, energy-efficient, 2-story home with rustic, industrial and modern design sensibilities is noteworthy. And with over 400sf of your own private patio, deck & dog run area this home lives much larger than the advertised 600sf of interior living space. The owners designed and built this home with all the special elements they would want in their own living space - lots of light, a truly functional full kitchen, space to entertain, private and plentiful outdoor living space and dual-head/dual-control shower for couples. This very private ADU sits discreetly behind the owner occupied primary house on the property, in the primo NW District - Nob Hill location with easy, plentiful & free street parking available, two blocks from the many hiking (& biking) trails of Forest Park, with easy highway access and public transit options nearby. Walk a few blocks to nearby natural foods, cafes, restaurants, brewpubs, tasting rooms, library, fitness studios, spas, barbers, salons, Wallace Park/dog park Chapman School turf, tennis/pickleball courts, NW 23rd Ave with its abundance of amenities and shops, Slabtown and the Pearl. It's just far enough from NW 23rd to be peaceful and quiet with easy parking, but close enough to access within a short walk. The ADU's upper main level offers a spacious entry porch with built-in bench and an open floor plan with a high vaulted ceiling that houses the living area and full kitchen. Large and numerous windows facing all directions gives the space bright natural light all day long, all year long and the feeling of being in a tree house, making it feel light and airy even during Winter. The large kitchen is luxuriously appointed with full size, high-end, stainless appliances (gas range w/ convection oven and pot filler, quiet 44db dishwasher, garbage disposal, French door fridge, custom concrete countertops and farm style sink and spacious steel clad cabinets. French doors off the kitchen lead to a 12'x8' private deck w/ built-in benches offering additional space to entertain guests and BBQ. Track lighting, dimmable lights, top-down, bottom-up cellular blinds and bespoke reclaimed wood shelving and windowsills elevate this above the typical rental on the market. The upstairs floor and stairs that lead downstairs are beautifully ebonized and oiled Douglas fir. The lower level offers dimmable lighting and a short hallway leading to the bedroom, bathroom, laundry, bonus storage under the stairs, multiple closets with bespoke wood shelving and barn doors, a well insulated, polished concrete floor, and exposed Douglas fir beams and tongue and groove plank ceiling. The bedroom is flanked by large windows with top-down, bottom-up cellular blinds facing North and West, and let in plenty of light to keep spirits high and offer plenty of privacy at the same time. French doors off the bedroom facing East bring in morning light and lead to a spacious, private shade garden patio below the upstairs deck. The bathroom features a radiant heated floor, a custom concrete sink and a reclaimed-wood, vanity cabinet, a large custom shower for two with fabulous cement tiles and pebble floor, independent, dual shower heads for couples who like to shower together (but like different temperatures!) and a whisper quiet exhaust fan. A utility closet offers high efficiency tankless water heater and stacked full size large capacity LG washer and dryer and a bit of storage space, in addition to two other under the stairs storage areas. This home is heated and cooled by a near silent and efficient mini-split heat pump.
