Some homes have a story. This one has never been told. Until now. Designed in 1964 by Eugene architect Marion Dean Ross, this home is hitting the market for the very first time. Six decades of care, and one meticulous top-to-bottom remodel later, it's ready for its next chapter. Step through into the landscaped front courtyard and feel the shift from neighborhood to sanctuary. A splash of signature orange on the front door sets the tone for everything that follows: a home with serious personality, warmth in every corner, and a design sensibility ahead of its time in 1964 and still turning heads today. Inside, the living room opens up with a full wall of windows that flood the space with light and spills out to a front deck sure to be your new spot for morning coffee and a good book. The Malm-inspired conical fireplace anchors the room, and exposed beams overhead remind you this is no ordinary house. The fully-updated chef's kitchen features stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, generous pantry, and skylights that keep the space feeling light and bright. Pull up to the breakfast nook for a lazy weekend brunch or move the party into the separate dining room with its vaulted ceilings. Three bedrooms on the main level include a primary suite with a beautifully appointed en suite bath and private covered patio where the day begins and ends on your terms. Downstairs, the enormous utility and laundry room has the kind of storage that makes everyday life easier. Head upstairs, where the huge bonus room offers incredible flexibility. It opens to a deck made for al fresco dinners under the trees. The remodel goes well beyond surfaces: new roof, new plumbing, full electrical rewire, new flooring throughout, and a repoured foundation mean this home is as solid as it is beautiful. Tucked on a corner lot in the South Hills neighborhood, it offers something increasingly rare: a home with genuine history, a complete modern refresh, and a soul that took sixty years to build.
