2172 8 Aurora, OR 97002

The Best of Town & Country! Perched atop a large pastoral lot, you'll feel welcome & secure from the moment you enter this classic, yet modern-living bungalow home, located in the heart of historic Aurora! Updated, while original in all the right ways, this stylish property exudes vintage charm and has benefitted from thoughtful renovations carried out by several of its most recent caretakers. The large list of upgrades starts with modern electrical & plumbing, fresh kitchen & bathroom finishes, newer windows, roof, gutters, furnace & efficient heat pump with AC. Fireplace, fencing & sewer have all been brought up to fine standard as well. Outstanding lower-level studio apartment could be viewed as a 5th bedroom, yet creative owners might consider the use of this nicely appointed area for multi-family, recreational & more! Investment-minded buyers would also be well advised to investigate the income producing viability of this space, if that is a goal. Tons of storage available in the partially finished basement zones; or use as home gym or (???) you name it! Tuck under garage currently utilized as laundry, gardening, and workshop space, with new cabinetry & countertops installed. Dual entrance driveway has been freshly graveled & provides ample parking. And don't forget to explore the spacious grounds, where the gardener in you can finally bloom! Amazing soil supports a healthy ecosystem with fruit trees & bushes bearing walnuts, plums, blueberries, loganberries, apples, pears, grapes & various other flora. Elevated high above road level, with no neighbors in direct view, a fence lined driveway, plus a touch of white noise from traffic below, all contribute to a real sense of privacy at this property. Close to a vibrant and fun community, near shops, eateries, nature, parks & just a stone's throw from ye olde local pub :^) All this, plus an easy commute to Portland or Salem. Check out the 3D Tour. This may just become the place where your heart feels most at home!
