Property Description

There is nothing else like this in Salem right now: a real detached shop, gated space for a boat or RV, and zero HOA to restrict any of it. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 1,663 square foot home flips the usual new-construction trade-off, house size for yard space, on its head.The 17x36 detached shop features a concrete floor, soaring 13-plus-foot ceilings, full shop lighting, built-in shelving, loft, 220-power, and a tall drive-through door, giving you real workshop space for projects, hobbies, or a home-based business (buyer due diligence. A finished 9x16 lean-to with an exposed beam ceiling and its own entrance rounds it out, ready to be a studio, craft room, or she shed. Beyond the shop, a gated side area is built to hold a boat, RV, camper, or extra vehicles, something new construction subdivisions simply cannot offer once HOA restrictions on outdoor storage come into play.Most new construction in this price range sits on a 4,000 to 5,000 square foot lot with an HOA dictating what you can park in your own driveway. This property sits on a full .20 acre lot, nearly double that size, with mature, established landscaping instead of the bare dirt that comes with a brand new build, and there's no HOA anywhere in sight to tell you otherwise.Inside, custom woodwork, maple cabinetry, a glass tile backsplash, and French doors carry the quality through. The attached garage is oversized too, at 20x21 with an additional 7x7 bonus space, giving you even more room to store gear, tools, or a project car.The private dead-end street keeps things quiet and traffic-free, minutes from South Salem High School, parks, and I-5, with easy access to downtown Salem and the wine country beyond it. It's the kind of setting that's increasingly hard to find this close to town.Homes with this combination of usable shop space, RV or boat parking, lot size, and freedom from HOA restrictions rarely come on the market in Salem, and when they do, they don't last.
