2285 HEATH ST, Salem, OR 97302

Tucked into a quiet pocket of South Salem, just a short stroll from Nelson City Park and the North Croisan Creek Trail, there’s a house that’s been waiting patiently for its next chapter. Since 1977, it’s been a place of memories—laughter echoing through the large multipurpose room on the main floor, quiet mornings in the sunlit upstairs bedrooms, family dinners, weekend projects in the garage. For the first time, it’s ready to welcome someone new. With over 2,500 square feet to grow into, this home was built with space in mind—three true bedrooms upstairs, each with room to stretch out, and 2.1 bathrooms so no one has to wait in line. The main floor’s layout opens up opportunities: host friends, work from home, create a playroom, studio, or cozy library. Out back, there’s a yard just waiting for a hammock, a garden, or a few summer barbecues. It’s big enough to dream in. And the 485-square-foot garage? Let’s just say whether you need storage, a workspace, or a place to finally start that hobby you’ve been putting off—it’s got you covered. It’s not perfect, and that’s the beauty of it. The bones are strong, and the space is generous—but there’s room for updates, for style, for making it truly yours. This is more than just a house coming on the market...It’s a rare chance to shape something special, in a neighborhood that feels like home the moment you arrive. Come take a look and start the next chapter of your home story, here!
