Custom-built in 2008 and lightly lived in by a single owner ever since, this distinctive 1,365 sq ft home exudes warmth, character, and high-end design in one of the most unique neighborhoods in the Gorge. Step inside to rich hardwood floors underfoot, vaulted ceilings throughout, solid fir doors and trim, and custom wood cabinetry that feels more boutique hotel than suburban living. On the main floor, the living room serves as the heart of the home featuring a gas fireplace, large windows, and provides a great flow to the remainder of the house and also to the outdoors. The open kitchen and dining area showcases tile floors, granite counters, stainless steel appliances and features French doors out to a stamped concrete patio. Here you'll be surrounded by mature, low-maintenance landscaping with beautiful Pacific Northwest native plantings complete with irrigation system. It’s a peaceful space that invites everything from morning coffee to twilight dinners — no lawn mower required. Upstairs, you’ll find 2 light-filled bedrooms; including a primary suite with a travertine-tiled ensuite bathroom, granite counters, and a walk-in closet. The second bedroom provides a glimpse at Mt Adams and a full hall bathroom ensures that nobody has to share. Fresh interior paint and a brand new heat pump (installed summer 2025) make this home truly move-in ready, while the immaculate condition speaks volumes about the care it’s received over the years. The driveway accommodates 2 vehicles while the detached single-car garage adds convenience and Gorge gear storage without sacrificing charm. Tucked into the one-of-a-kind Willow Ponds neighborhood — where community gardens, pocket parks, and playgrounds create a sense of connection rooted in nature — this home offers something genuinely special. For those craving something different, a little elevated, and a lot more you — this one delivers. Listing agent is related to Seller.
