Custom-built with quality, craftsmanship, and longevity in mind, this exceptional 2-bedroom, 2-bath day ranch sits on 0.97 acres on the desirable east side of The Dalles. Built in 2001 by the owner, a retired electrician, the home reflects meticulous attention to detail and pride of ownership throughout. The spacious main level offers 1,998 square feet of comfortable living space, with all daily living conveniently located on one floor. Designed to capture the breathtaking surroundings, the home's north-facing windows frame spectacular 180-degree views of the Columbia Gorge, Klickitat Hills, Columbia River, and The Dalles Dam. An additional 1,998-square-foot daylight basement provides tremendous potential for expansion. The lower level already features framed walls, installed electrical, and rough-ins for a kitchen and bathrooms, making it ideal for future living quarters, multigenerational living, or additional entertainment space. Outside, enjoy a paved circular driveway, attached two-car garage, and a full-length deck overlooking the expansive yard and garden area. Once a thriving production garden and showcase landscape, the property is connected to The Dalles Irrigation District, providing abundant water to maintain lush grounds and gardening opportunities. Rarely does a property combine this level of construction quality, future expansion potential, generous lot size, and panoramic Columbia Gorge views in such a desirable location.
