Property Description
Plenty of guaranteed revenue options or enjoy as a family! This is a very unique property. 1/2 acre in Lake Oswego, lake easement/access at the Lake Grove swim park. There are 2 homes on the property...plus the lot can be split and another home built. This could be a great investment property...so many options!
Currently, we run a very successful Airbnb business, doing nightly rentals in both homes. Everything is dialed in with the business including the house manager/cleaner/handyman/gardener, website, and marketing. The business generates around 80K in gross revenue a year. If you want to continue running the Airbnb, we can discuss the business and include the furniture, housewares, etc.
Prior to running the Airbnb/doing rentals, my husband and I really enjoyed living in the big house and running our advertising agency out of the cottage. You may decide to live in one home and rent/Airbnb the 2nd home or use it for a mother in law home. We have had great success doing long term rentals in both homes as well. So many options for generating income, or just having a fantastic family home in a wonderful neighborhood!
In addition, the lot can be split and a new home built. New homes in the area sell for $1M+ This is a very desirable area with some of the best schools in the state. It is on a quiet dead-end street, close to 1-5, wonderful grocery stores, restaurants, malls, the lake, the Tualatin River plus shops in Lake Grove and Lake Oswego. Several new homes have been built in the neighborhood over the past few years.

The Lot/parking:
1/2 acre park-like setting lot
There is a lot of parking in the driveway, along the front of the house as well as a very long driveway on the side of the lot where we parked a 40 foot RV and a tow car for a while.
As mentioned above the lot can be split. The homes are on septic (sewer is at both ends of the street and on Bonaire Street behind the lot.) However, if you don't want to run the sewer down the street, we had a septic company come out and they said there is room for another septic system.
The lawn/landscaping is pretty low maintenance right now since we are running the Airbnb. We have a company come out 2x a month to mow/blow and trim up the plants. However, when we lived in the house, we had grass and a lot of plants/flowers around the house. There are 21 old growth douglas fir trees on the lot, they produce a lot of wonderful shade plus attract birds and native squirrels.
