Imagine starting your day with your favorite mug on the welcoming front porch, waving to neighbors as they stroll by, or lacing up your shoes for a few laps on the Hood River Stairs before tackling your next Mt. Adams summit. From this coveted neighborhood, you're less than a block to May Street Elementary and just a few short blocks to Flow Yoga, the Farm Stand, favorite restaurants and watering holes—perfectly positioned between Downtown Hood River and The Heights.This is more than a home; it's the kind of neighborhood where people know your name, have your back, and gather each fall to make Halloween bigger and better than the year before. You just might be next year's "Good Neighbor" award winner.Custom built by respected craftsman Matt Melby for his own family, this authentic Pacific Northwest Craftsman blends timeless character with modern peace of mind. Rich hardwood floors, soapstone countertops, a butcher block induction island, thoughtfully designed built-ins, and a functional main-level mudroom/laundry create the warmth and charm of a classic home without the maintenance headaches. Recent updates include interior and exterior paint, a 2023 roof, and new west-side windows, reflecting years of exceptional care.Wood-trimmed French doors open to a covered patio surrounded by lush, professional grade landscaping with a full sprinkler system to keep care easy—an ideal setting for summer dinners or quiet evenings outdoors. Downstairs you find an additional ~1,000 square feet of flexible space with exterior access that is ready for your workshop, creative pursuits, fitness area, lounge, or organized storage for all your Gorge gear.While it is hard to replicate a home with this much attention to detail and care, you can. Neighborhoods like this cannot.
