3438 Edward Dr SE Salem, OR 97302

Accepted Offer with Contingencies. 3438 Edward Dr SE in South Salem's Edward Estates is a single-level, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home built in 2014 with 1201 square feet and an attached 2-car garage. This is an estate sale, and the seller was the original owner. She lived there lightly: no smoking, no pets, and the home has been treated with the kind of everyday respect that's hard to fake. Add in a pre-sale inspection that points to a well-maintained property, and you get that rare feeling when you walk in: "I don't have to brace myself for surprises."The layout is straightforward and comfortable, which is exactly what many buyers want right now, especially if you're looking to simplify. It's one story, with one step from the garage into the home and one step at the front entry, plus a small yard that won't demand your Saturdays and Sundays to maintain. In the living area, there's a gas fireplace, the kind of feature that makes rainy-season evenings feel a little more acceptable. The home also has gas forced-air heat, and includes the range, washer, dryer, and refrigerators (kitchen and garage), which can make move-in logistics a lot less annoying.Outside is where the setting quietly shines. The home backs to Pringle Creek, giving you a natural, peaceful backdrop, and FEMA indicates it isn't in the flood plain. If you like the idea of greenery behind you without the work of maintaining a huge lot, this hits that sweet spot with about 0.11 acres.And for everyday convenience, you're roughly a mile to Fred Meyer, Prismatic Coffee Co, and Cozzie's NY Deli, so errands and coffee runs stay easy. If you want comfort, simplicity, and a home that's been genuinely cared for, this one is worth a look.
