A Big Win for a Sweet Sellwood Cottage
Some homes just have that thing—a mix of soul, setting, and something special that makes people fall hard. Stacy’s Sellwood cottage was absolutely one of those homes.
After 18 years of care, creativity, and life lived in every square foot, Stacy made the tough decision to move on. As the owner of Plural Collective, a boutique featuring women makers (and her own incredible jewelry line), she’s deeply rooted in Sellwood. But life called for more space, and she answered with intention—investing time, energy, and savings to give her beloved home a little glow-up before listing.
And wow, did it shine.
She uncovered original hardwood floors hiding under layers of carpet and laminate. A fresh coat of paint gave every room a crisp feel. The appliances were refreshed, staging was dialed, and the backyard—already full of charm—became a showstopper with its outdoor cinema, fire pit, and studio space. The home may have had a small footprint, but it lived large, especially with that standard city lot and stellar Sellwood location.
The response? Electric.
Our phone pinged like a Vegas slot machine the moment it went live. Appointments stacked up immediately, and by the end of Day 1, we had an offer. By the time the weekend wrapped, five strong offers were on the table. Stacy’s home ultimately sold for $39K over asking, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome—or more proud of her thoughtful prep work and trust in the process.
This sale was a great reminder:
Small homes can make a huge impression.
Location and presentation are everything.
A little investment in prep can deliver big returns.
We were honored to guide Stacy through this milestone, and can’t wait to see where her next chapter unfolds.
