About this home
Live the quintessential Bend Westside lifestyle from this freshly remodeled, single-level Overturf Butte retreat. Tucked into a private, elevated setting, the home offers a rare blend of neighborhood tranquility and easy access to everything that makes Bend special. Beautifully landscaped front and back, the property feels connected to nature with birdsong, visiting deer and peaceful outdoor spaces to relax, garden or entertain. Inside, fresh updates create a bright, move-in-ready feel. Enjoy nearby trails and Overturf Butte, bike to Westside restaurants and shops, or head toward the Deschutes River, downtown Bend, Phil's Trail and the Cascades. With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a fenced yard, attached two-car garage, and room for a small boat or RV, this is a special home base for enjoying the best of Bend.
River West, located between the Deschutes River and NW Newport Avenue, is a residential and outdoor-oriented Bend neighborhood with riverfront trails and a walkable pocket of local shops. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around NW Galveston Avenue near the footbridge to Drake Park, where patios, bike racks, and small storefronts set a steady, social pace. Iconic pillars include The Lot, a food-cart pod with a central firepit, the historic Tower Theatre downtown, and Deschutes Brewery’s original pub nearby. Craftsman bungalows and mid-century homes mix with newer infill, often framed by mature trees and alleyways. River access and the Deschutes River Trail shape daily routines from paddle launches to evening loops. Coffee counters, taprooms, and parks keep the streets active without feeling loud.
