About this home
Perfectly placed in Eugene's beloved River Road neighborhood, this 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath charmer delivers the kind of character that new construction simply cannot manufacture. The remodeled kitchen is the kind of upgrade that actually changes how you use a home with a space that makes cooking feel intentional. The fenced backyard gives you a private outdoor space: room to garden, entertain, let the dog run, or simply exist outside without an audience. 2 car garage (or let's be real...gym space), but the loft above is the real conversation starter. Use it as-is for serious storage, set up a workshop or hobby space, or finish it out into something more. The bones are there. The potential is real. River Road puts you minutes from Willamette River paths, local coffee, and the farmers market circuit that Eugene does better than most cities twice its size. Commutes to the U of O, downtown, and the medical corridor are genuinely easy. Not "easy" in the way listings always say, but actually easy. Some vintage character with a modern kitchen, private yard, bonus space above the garage. This one checks boxes you forgot to even put on your list.
River Road, located between the Willamette River and Beltline Highway, is a residential and commercial Eugene neighborhood with a river-adjacent landscape and a corridor-style streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along River Road near the River Road–Irvington Drive junction, where auto shops, taquerias, garden centers, and everyday services line the arterial. Mid-century ranch homes and newer infill sit on leafy blocks that contrast with the steady traffic of the main strip. River Road Park and the Ruth Bascom Riverbank Path System set a steady outdoor rhythm along the water. Community touchstones include River Road Park, the River Road Community Organization, and the nearby Hult Center for the Performing Arts for bigger nights out.
