You're looking for the most upgraded 01home on the market for under $550,000. Well, you're in luck because this is it! Set on a spacious corner lot surrounded by parks, walking trails, ponds, and mountain views, this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home offers nearly 2,000 square feet of intentional, light-filled living in one of Salem's most loved communities. Built in 2022 with no HOA, the difference in quality is immediately noticeable. Expansive windows bring in natural light from every angle, engineered hardwood floors run throughout the main level (yes, you did read that right!!), and the living room is anchored by a fireplace with custom built-in cabinetry that creates warmth, character, and a cozy place to gather. The kitchen blends beauty and function with every upgrade that matters including soft close drawers & doors, upgraded hardware & appliances, quartz countertops, and a functional walk-in pantry. Throughout the home, every detail feels cohesive, timeless, and incredibly cared for. Upstairs, the primary suite continues that same intentional approach with upgraded closet shelving and a layout that simply lives well. Even the less obvious spaces were done right, including a rare full-height crawl space offering substantial additional storage. Outside is where this property stands apart. To complement the traditional elevation of the home, you'll love the fully fenced-in landscape, raised garden beds ready to go with a drip system installed, a greenhouse, and a chicken coop with run, all included if desired. The space feels established, functional, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time in. Located near neighborhood ponds, multiple parks, miles of walking trails, and top-performing schools, this home offers the balance so many buyers are searching for: peaceful countryside surroundings with everyday convenience just minutes away. Only 4 minutes from the freeway and 10 minutes from Costco! Beautifully maintained, thoughtfully upgraded, and exceptionally easy to love.
