Rocco’s Pick of the Week
Sometimes I use some rather esoteric criteria in selecting my pick of the week from the Bend Oregon MLS tour. Last week, it was a sore paw and a problematic shoulder. This week, I guess you could say it’s nostalgia. For the home in Bend which I selected belongs to my former girlfriend . . . a curvaceous chocolate lab named Molly B. She used to live next door to me in a house in Bend; I don’t mean to sound maudlin, but I won’t forget her.
She also lived (sadly, Molly B passed away in November of 2009) in an exquisite home that was on the tour this week. it’s on the sought after west-side of Bend Oregon . . . a 4578 square foot beauty featuring old world quality combined with a contemporary feel.
The home in Bend greets with a glorious entry way with Brazilian (any chance to mention my master’s windsurfing trip) cherry flooring and exquisite detail work .
It’s an open floor plan design with an incredible great room highlighted by a classic stone fireplace.
The home boasts 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. It offers mostly main level living with master, high tech office
and stunning gourmet kitchen (no wonder Molly B beefed up a bit in her later years) complete with unique granite counters from Australia.
Downstairs, there’s a wet bar, three bedrooms, and a theater room (while perhaps lacking the “butt-thumping amp” of the home in Bend a couple of weeks ago, it’s still pretty sweet).
Cascade Views from 35 SW Quail Butte Place
While the home is remarkable, the views are absolutely killer. The lot is almost a half an acre and backs to extensive common area, yielding unobstructed views of the Cascades from most rooms.
I won’t forget Molly B.
