The Garden Entry

If you enter through the garden, this hillside mid-century home welcomes you with established landscaping, floral pathways, and a spacious shaded side deck (new in 2023) from which to enjoy a glass of Eola Hills wine from their Legacy Estate Vineyard just down the road. Inside, the home boasts updated finishes, sunlit rooms, and a layout that adapts well to modern farm life. Recent updates include:

• New engineered plank flooring (main level) and fresh interior paint (2021)

• Remodeled upstairs bathroom (2021-2022) + custom lower level bathroom/shower remodel (2022)

• Updated electrical panel, ductless A/C + heat units (3), and washer/dryers on both levels

• New electric range, countertops, and kitchen upgrades (2023)

• Terra Firma basement drainage system, sump pump, and dehumidifier (2025)

And that’s just the beginning.

Flexible Living + Functional Design

The main level offers a bright, open living room with a new wood-burning fireplace, a charming kitchen with vintage green cabinetry, and a sitting room ideal for a work-from-home set-up or relaxed mornings with coffee. It has a beautiful view of the garden and farm stand, making it easy to know when guests arrive. The main level of the home has 3 bedrooms and a remodeled hall bathroom.

The finished lower level, with its own entrance, remodeled bathroom, kitchenette, and washer/dryer offers the potential for an in-law suite, home business, or rental unit. Plus, new appliances (2025), upgraded drainage to keep all areas of the basement dry, and ample unfinished storage space on the other side of the door make this a smart investment in flexibility: the unfinished storage has a large garden window, making it a great option for an additional bedroom.

The Acreage of Your Dreams

The space around the home is a hobby farmer's dream. The seller has meticulously cared for and cultivated the grounds, raising animals and growing abundant produce on the relatively small acreage. Surrounded by trees, gardens, and open sky, it’s ideal for gardeners, hobby farmers, or anyone looking for elbow room and a home surrounded by natural and cultivated beauty.

Ready to grow your own food? You’ll find:

• Two 1,600-gallon water storage tanks for the irrigation well to water produce and animals

• Pasture fencing and expanded livestock shelters (2024)

• Custom chicken run + coop (2021)

• A finished Tuff Shed farm stand (2023) — the seller has connected with local makers and artisans to not only sell her produce and eggs, but other goods as well.

Whether you’re harvesting tomatoes, tending dahlias, or sipping tea in the shade of the garden trees, this space will refresh your soul.
