Country Living in Town

The Bend Oregon real estate market has been pretty active for the first quarter of 2010.  One thing continues to be blatantly clear . . . Bend is all about “quality of life.”  For some (like me!) it’s the proximity to Mt. Bachelor; for others, the reasons can be diverse . . .  the clean air, the brilliant night sky, the lack of traffic, the fine restaurants, or the excellent schools.  But, I think that most folks would agree on one thing– they’d love to have the serenity and quiet of the country, juxtaposed with all the great amenities of downtown Bend.

This elegant single level home,  on slightly more than an acre on Bend’s sunny southeast side, pretty much has it all.  Set in an oasis-like setting in the gated enclave of Benham Estates, the home is an entertainer’s delight.  It features an open floor plan with  lots of large windows that seem to bring the outside in.

The 3 bedroom (the third bedroom was designed so that it can be converted to two bedrooms or a bedroom and a den), 2.5 bath home features a friendly, spacious kitchen with granite tile counter tops, stainless appliances, a wood-paneled refrigerator, and a roomy pantry.

The great room offers a beautiful stone fireplace, hardwood floors, custom built-ins.  It looks out to the covered back deck and outdoor living area. The huge landscaped yard boasts a small barn, a gazebo, a well-stocked pond  and a private stream (the property comes with one acre of Arnold irrigation water).

Imagine soaking in the steamy private hot tub, a potent martini in hand, discussing the events of the day or the effort on the links, softly serenaded by the therapeutic sounds of the brook.  I’ll take two please!
