This is a Summerplace home for Seniors 55+ and older who'd rather be on the pickleball court than behind a lawnmower. The grounds were xeriscaped on purpose: drought-smart plantings, river rock, and color that earns its keep without begging for water or eating your weekends. The yard looks sharp in July and forgiving in January, and the water bill won't make you wince.Inside, the first thing you'll notice is underfoot. Genuine wool wall-to-wall carpet, soft and warm in a way synthetics never quite pull off, and a quiet signal that this home was built well and kept that way.It's the Salishan plan, all on one level. No stairs, no compromises. The living room lifts to a vaulted ceiling and gathers around a wood burning fireplace. The kitchen and nook open to a separate dining room, so having people over never feels like a squeeze. The primary suite keeps to its own end of the home, private and quiet. Out back, a covered patio gives you a dry seat for Oregon mornings and a shady one for August afternoons. There's a proper laundry room and an attached garage with storage that actually stores things.Then there's the part that doesn't show up on a floor plan. Summerplace takes the word "active" seriously. A morning might start with laps in the pool or a soak in the hot tub and drift toward the tennis and pickleball courts, the fitness rooms, or a book pulled from the library. The clubhouse and ballroom run a calendar worth clearing time for: card games, clubs, potlucks, and a Fourth of July picnic on the lawn the whole neighborhood shows up for. When you'd rather be still, 135 acres of tended grounds and walking paths are yours too. There's even a storage lot for the RV or the boat, because retirement ought to come with a few toys.Glendoveer Golf Course sits right across the street. I-84, PDX airport, Costco, and the Columbia Gorge are all close enough to make spontaneity easy. Lock up, leave for a week, and the xeriscaping won't hold it against you.
