About this property
West Side Hill House with View Walking Distance to Downtown & Recently Remodeled
Enjoy a location close to downtown Bend for an easy walk to restaurants, shops, and everything downtown Bend has to offer. It's also a short walk to Galveston/West side restaurants and brew pubs. Recently updated, the home is packed with luxurious modern conveniences that bely its 1929 origins.
This home has both a sweeping East view of Pilot Butte and South views of Newberry Crater, Lava Butte, and more. The 2nd bedroom also has Northeast views to the Ochoco Mountains in the distance. 15 minute walk to downtown, and 5 minute walk to the river at First Street Rapids Park.
The large living room has picture window views to the South and East, a gas fireplace, and a motorized TV cabinet with a 60" screen which hides when not in use.
The kitchen includes an induction range, quartz countertops, filtered water dispenser, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender, and the rest of the essentials. Need some specialty cooking equipment? Just ask, as we're right next door and most likely will have what you need.
Each bedroom has a queen bed. The master bathroom has dual sinks, tons of drawer storage, heated floors, a curb-less walk-in shower, and a separate toilet nook. The 2nd bathroom has a tub/shower combo, single sink, and a toilet nook.
Driveway has space for 2 cars to park in tandem.
The large deck has a table for 4 with umbrella, and a Weber gas grill plumbed into the house - no tanks to refill.
A locking storage room is also available for storing bikes, kayaks, golf clubs, etc.
Adult guests only please.

About the host
Hosted by Mike Spencer
Mike and Lyn moved to Bend in 2013 after falling in love with the town, proximity to the outdoors, and well, all the reasons people visit here! Mike's an avid mountain biker, as well as trail runner, plus all the other Bend activities - backpacking, road/gravel cycling, kayaking, paddle boarding, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, etc. All the exercise may just be an excuse to eat more. Lyn is a retired musician and enjoys volunteering at our local animal shelter, and is a talented cook.
Why they chose this property
When we first saw it, it was a bit (okay, a lot) run down, but we loved that it was very walkable to downtown, but just up the hill enough to get some fantastic views. It was very much not what we were looking for, but we fell in love with it. Over the next year or two we did some renovations while living there - updated the kitchen, refinished the hardwood floors, re-configured the back bedroom a bit, new carpet in the master bedroom, and new paint pretty much everywhere. More recently we completed another round of improvements, particularly the master bath, living room, back bathroom, along with some less exciting needed under-the-hood updates.
Oddly enough, it was something of a package deal with two adjacent vacant lots; we later built on the lot to the South, where we now live. So when not renting via VRBO, we often have friends & family staying in it when visiting.
Someday we may just move back into it ourselves! During the 2020 lockdown we had a "staycation" weekend in it when not rented and were reminded how much we enjoy this house.

What makes this property unique
It's a quiet neighborhood, has some great views, and walkable to the river, downtown, and all the West Side has to offer. That combined with the extensive interior upgrades such as the modern updated kitchen with upscale new appliances makes it a great home away from home.
