Not every great home announces itself. Some just sit quietly in a good neighborhood, on a street where people know their neighbors, and wait for the right buyer to pay attention.
1642 SW Tamarack St. is that kind of home. And it's now available.

Oak Floors and Open Doors
Charming and move-in ready, this 1990-built home sits on a large corner lot in SW McMinnville and has been thoughtfully updated from top to bottom. Step inside to find 3/4" white oak flooring installed throughout the main level in 2022, giving the living spaces a warm, timeless feel the moment you walk in. The living room is open and bright, anchored by a new wood burning stove added in 2023, perfect for cozy nights in.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, with shaker style cabinetry, granite counters, and a spacious pantry that makes everyday living easy. French doors off the dining area open onto a large, private yard with mature landscaping, offering plenty of room to entertain, garden, or just enjoy being outside. Tucked off the kitchen behind a wood framed glass door, a cozy den rounds out the main level, the kind of flexible space that works equally well as a home office (or 4th bedroom!) or a quiet spot to read.



The main level includes a bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests or single-level living, while two more bedrooms and a second bath fill out the upper level. Warm colors and thoughtful updates run throughout, giving the whole home a welcoming, lived-in feel.
