2983 Timberline Dr, Eugene, OR 97405

Wow! Here's a lovely three-bedroom, custom built home in the coveted Somerset Hills of southwest Eugene. Quiet, peaceful, inviting, surrounded by mature forest, a nature trail with year-round creek, and expansive Skyview park, this home is a nurturing retreat from the city. Deer, turkeys, songbirds, squirrels and owls live in this property's no-spray native landscape. The sunny front yard is ringed by figs, berries, salal and Oregon grape, with room to garden your favorite organic veggies and flowers. The level driveway for 4 cars leads you to a private courtyard with a bench, water feature, and vertical wall salad garden. Step inside the house onto the custom concrete floor stamped with fossil-like impressions of flora from the property. The large living room with cathedral ceiling has a skylight, oak floor, and a large sliding glass wall facing peaceful, private woods. A beautiful limestone wall with built-in oak bookcase and a custom concrete hearth frame the soapstone woodstove that can heat the entire house for cozy winters. In summer, 8-inch thick walls keep all rooms naturally cool and comfortable. The outer den wall is one foot thick! The open, airy kitchen with its glass walled dining room facing the woods is a vintage dream designed by a baker: original, well-maintained appliances, spacious tile counters, strong, deep cabinets, and a layout that makes sense. Work from both sides of the peninsula. It's so easy to cook and enjoy meals in this delightful heart of the home! There are three bedrooms, two with oak floors and one with custom concrete. One has built-in bookcases. Another has a painted sky ceiling for indoor cloud-watching. All three bedrooms enjoy afternoon sunlight all year long. Come see these serene, playful spaces! Two full bathrooms have skylights, oak cabinets, and vintage tile counters. One has a tub/shower, and the other has a large walk-in shower. Off the kitchen is a laundry room with washer, dryer, long closet, and space to fold and hang clothes. From the laundry room, enter the extra deep two-car garage. Three work spaces, strong built-in shelves, a solar tube, window, and custom tool bench make the space suitable for storing everything and working on projects, with room to park two cars. This home has been lovingly cared for by the original couple who designed it in 1987 and by the second owner who expanded its creative potential over the last 20 years. It's a true retreat for those who want to live and work in a lovely, restorative oasis in the midst of a busy, modern world.
