A Home Base for a Busy Month
What makes this corner of Portland special is how easy it is to spend the morning on a forested trail across the street, then drive downtown for a symphony or a show the same evening. At 1111 SW Coronado St, the nearly 3-acre grounds give you that same mix of quiet and convenience at home, with a remodeled kitchen for hosting after the festivities. If you are curious what it is like to live minutes from Tryon Creek and downtown Portland, contact Danielle Bade to schedule a private tour.
