Just across river from Eugene, OR.
Nestled in a lush, urban permaculture forest garden, across from the Island Park river trail system, sits a delightful 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with stylishly updated kitchen and bathrooms, wood floors, and great separation of space. Custom cabinets handcrafted with local black walnut highlight the beautiful kitchen remodel that includes granite countertops, tile accents, and newer stainless steel appliances. The vaulted and beamed master ensuite with clerestory window boasts an updated bathroom with clawfoot tub and tile floors, plus a sliding glass door leading to a private covered deck. Another large bedroom on the opposite side of the home has a separate entrance, with sliders leading to its own private deck, perhaps a great space for a home office. Creating a warm and inviting living room are the natural gas stove, vintage wood floors, bay window with tiled window seat, and another large picture window. Throughout this gardener's dream, paths wind under arbors and trellises, and around the thoughtfully planted beds featuring more than 150 species of native, medicinal, and edible plants, plus espaliered apples and pears, all watered with an automatic drip system. A tiny house studio, currently used as a workshop, could be finished to support a whole range of possibilities for work or play. Here it is! Home, sweet home, across from the river and just blocks away from downtown Springfield's growing food, entertainment, & bistro district. Ask your Realtor for more details and to schedule a private showing today!
P.S. for permies: I have spreadsheets and original maps for all the plants, with details on uses, sources, when planted etc. I am also happy to walk through and/or make a video to support new owner identifying all plants, and can explain uses, be they edible, medicinal, pollinator/ecological etc, as well as maintenance and harvesting techniques. If you're looking for a property in Eugene/Springfield, this is a real gem in a great location. I've put about 8 years of work into this place and want to see it go to a great caretaker who will really appreciate it! I also have done my due diligence with my mortgage company and have confirmed that qualified new buyer can assume my remaining loan on the property at right around a %3 interest rate, making this potentially WAY more affordable, and saving the new buyer untold thousands of dollars.
