2005 COTTAGE St SE, Salem, OR 97302

Welcome to 2005 Cottage St SE in Salem, Oregon-a 1939 corner-lot home with vintage character and a layout that offers flexibility for how you want to live. Set in South Salem with close proximity to Bush's Pasture Park, Salem Hospital, and downtown Salem, this is a location that keeps daily life simple and connected.

Hardwood floors, natural light, and a wood-burning fireplace create a living space that feels comfortable and familiar from the moment you step inside. The kitchen offers quartz countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a built-in dishwasher, and a pass-through bar that keeps the space open and usable.

Recent updates-including fresh interior/exterior paint (2025), a new furnace (2025), a new dishwasher, and a newer water heater-provide a solid starting point while leaving room to make it your own over time. Downstairs, a spacious bonus area is ready for movie nights or game days, along with a separate utility room and a non-conforming bedroom for added flexibility.

Outside, the fenced yard and surrounding property offer space to spread out, garden, or simply enjoy the seasons, with fruit trees located throughout (including pear, Pink Lady apple, and cherry) and a berry area with thornless blackberries and raspberries. A detached 2-car garage adds everyday function and storage. With full bathrooms on both levels and a private patio just off the back door, this home offers comfort, character, and the kind of potential that lets you settle in now and shape it over time.
