Property Description

There's something electric about watching the sunrise over the Columbia River, with the first light of day pouring through floor-to-ceiling windows that feel unmistakably mid-century.Built in 1964, this mid-century modern home in The Dalles, Oregon, has held onto much of what makes the era so appealing: original wood detailing, distinctive architectural elements, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Columbia River and territorial views change with the light throughout the day.Inside, original wood paneling, built-ins, a stone entry, and two fireplaces give the home warmth and personality. The kitchen is a time capsule in the best way, with original wood cabinetry, a copper backsplash, and even an indoor barbecue. The living and dining areas share the same open space, with a fireplace and expansive windows that keep the river in view. Both the primary bedroom and second main-level bedroom face north, so those views aren't reserved for the living room. An updated full bathroom is also on this level.Downstairs, a second living area with a fireplace insert and built-ins carries the home's original character into the lower level. A third bedroom, second full bathroom, workshop, and separate storage areas provide flexibility for whatever life looks like next.Outside, the 0.36-acre lot brings another dimension to the property. Mature trees, established landscaping, fruit trees, raised garden beds, underground irrigation, and a deck create plenty of reasons to spend time outdoors. An attached two-car garage adds even more utility.Clean, comfortable, and livable today, this home still has much of its original character intact. Keep what speaks to you, rethink what doesn't, and make it distinctly yours.
