They say every street has that house — the one with the peeling paint and overgrown edges, the one neighbors whisper about as having “potential.” This is that house. But here’s the thing: 1030 21st Street NE may be the least polished one on the block, but it’s also one of the rarest. Set in the heart of Englewood where people still look out for each other and build decks for neighbors just because they can this single-level home was thoughtfully designed with accessibility in mind. We're talking about wider doorways, front and back ramps, roll-in shower, lowered counters, grab bars, and a roll-under sink. These are rare finds in Salem, and even rarer in a neighborhood like this.Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a little upstairs attic storage space just waiting to store your life’s overflow. A great floor plan for aging in place. The original fir floors and wood windows are still here, weathered, worn, ready to be refinished. You’ll want to bring your contractor, your vision, and a healthy respect for a home that’s been well-lived in and left a little rough around the edges.Big ticket honesty: the roof is toast. The sewer line needs replacing. The water heater's been working since 2003 and deserves retirement. But there’s a 2015 heat pump and a gas stove that’s ready for action. So it's not all bad news.The lot itself? It’s a gem. Private backyard with alley access and room to garden, play, or just sit quietly under a tree and wonder why you didn’t do this sooner. One-car garage included.This isn’t a flip. It’s a home with history — waiting for someone who gets it. Whether you’re looking for an accessible space for yourself or someone you love, and you’ve got the means (and patience) to restore what’s here, this could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
