When it comes to 1699 Best Lane, an inviting contemporary Craftsman, a more fitting street name couldn’t be found. 1699 Best Lane is perfect: a custom Mark Adkins 2014 Tour Home—on nearly a quarter acre of land—in the middle of the coveted Harlow Neighborhood. Talk about total package.
The Harlow Neighborhood represents the best of Eugene. In this small enclave of homes around Coburg Rd to the Willamette River, you’ll find caring, involved neighbors, active Parks & Recreation centers, and easy transportation into-and-out-of the city. For most of the 1800’s, the Harlow District was the hub of Eugene—still today, it remains a vital center to the community.
It’s hard to find a more altruistic—or, award-winning—neighborhood anywhere, not just in Eugene. This community of neighbors received the National Neighborhood of the Year Award in 2013 for their flagship initiative Feed Hope, a meal distribution service to school age children from low-income families.
While it’s not a prerequisite to life in the Harlow, being a good neighbor is certainly the norm. But back to the house…
The clean exterior lines of 1699 Best Lane echo what you’ll find inside: a well-planned, thoughtfully executed, 2262 square foot, 4 bedroom, 3 bath custom home—with an additional 488 sq.ft. separate living space above the garage, which could serve a multitude of purposes: Airbnb, “Mother-In-Law” or House-Your-College-Kiddo Quarters, or In-Home Professional Office space. (To explain the bed/bath split…The main home has 3 bedrooms/2 baths, and Guest Quarters has its own bedroom, bathroom, living room, laundry hooks ups, and kitchenette – making up the 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths – total).
From the Great Room to the Kitchen and Dining, owners will appreciate the warm wood finishes, granite counters, and bamboo flooring. The kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, an artistic stone-and-tile backsplash, and a gas range with downdraft hood. The built-in stainless steel appliances and custom built island bring functionality into this high-traffic space. Chef-ready? Check.
And when the day is done, you’ll find respite in the well-appointed Master Suite and Bath. Enjoy double vanities, large mirrors, and a tiled walk-in shower—not to mention, a sizeable walk-in closet.
From inside to out, 1699 Best Lane offers the kind of livability—and flexibility—that people crave. The .24 acre flag lot sits well off the road, offering privacy and quietude. It’s the best of both worlds. Harvest your own apples, plums, and fresh berries in the back yard and enjoy them all on the sweet patio, just off the kitchen.
A three-car Garage and Mud Room finish off the main level.
The separate living space on the second story includes its own bedroom, living area, and full bath. Marmoleum floors, granite counters, washer/dryer hookup, and a cute kitchenette complete the space.
1699 Best Lane won’t be on the market long. If you’ve been looking for a well-appointed home, inclusive community, and privacy—this is the match you’ve been waiting for! Call me today for a viewing.
