Arched doorways, built-in cabinets, and a spacious living room with a large picture window create a warm and inviting feel. The dining area opens through sliding doors to a backyard deck that's perfect for outdoor living. The kitchen features gorgeous cabinetry and granite countertops, with a convenient laundry room just off to the side. Thoughtfully remodeled and freshly painted inside and out, the home showcases extensive improvements: a full renovation of front and backyard lawns and garden beds with elite Willamette Valley grass seed, upgraded exterior lighting, rebuilt garage framing, and newly installed AC units in both bedrooms. The deck flooring and support columns have been refinished, and damaged panels replaced, making the covered deck an ideal spot to enjoy the private, fenced backyard shaded by mature trees. All these updates enhance the peaceful, rural-like atmosphere, while still being minutes from restaurants, shopping, schools, and neighborhood parks. With excellent walk and bike scores, this turnkey home combines comfort, convenience, and charm in one of West Salem’s most desirable locations.
