Vista Brook courtyard Rummer
Here is a well priced Rummer built home in the Vista Brook Neighborhood. This Portland neighborhood just north of Garden Home Rd between 87th and 84th has the largest collection of Rummers in one area. The collection of different style Rummers here is impressive. The seller is the original owner, having purchased the house from Rummer Homes in 1966 (The original owners manual is still in a kitchen cabinet).
The house has four bedrooms and two bathrooms with living space of just over 1700 square feet (per county records). It is a flat roof model with an enclosed courtyard in lieu of an atrium. A covered walkway along the side of the courtyard leads to the front entrance. The house is sited very well ,establishing a good indoor-outdoor dynamic for the large light flooded kitchen and multi-purpose area. The living room and master are located at the rear of the house and their walls of glass give out onto a lush meditative garden area defined by the steep sloped north boudary of the property. 
While a new Durolast roof system was installed just over a year ago, the house needs love and attention. It is priced appropriately as a fixer. This is, however, a truly interesting house and the floor plan offers good potential for someone with the skill and the desire to make make it into a gem.
