404 36TH AVE NE Salem, OR 97301

Set on a spacious 0.24-acre fully fenced corner lot, this home offers an impressive combination of major upgrades, usable outdoor space, and features designed to help keep ownership costs down. Approximately $50,000 in solar panels installed in 2023 are included in the sale and will be paid off at closing, benefiting the next owner. Add comparatively low property taxes, a 20-ft Type 2 EV charger, and an upgraded 200-amp electrical panel, this home offers compelling advantages when it comes to monthly payments as well as lower cost of living on both utility & transportation costs. Many of the big-ticket improvements have already been completed, including a new roof (2017), triple-pane windows with transferable “double lifetime” warranty (2019), new furnace and oversized A/C (2019), electrical and plumbing upgrades, exterior paint (2025), and recently tiled kitchen flooring.Outside, the expansive level yard offers plenty of room to spread out. Cross fencing separates the garden and orchard area with apple, peach, and plum trees and its own entrance. A large covered patio on the opposite side of home provides even more curated spaces to enjoy on this large yard. A huge paved front parking area accommodates multiple vehicles with room for trailers or RV parking.All these major improvements leave an opportunity to focus on your own cosmetic updates inside. Original hardwood floors remain beneath the carpet and offer exciting refinishing potential. The enclosed carport adds flexible bonus space with future conversion possibilities while maintaining vehicle and storage access.Purchased from the original owner in 2017 and thoughtfully improved since, this property brings together space, infrastructure, lower-cost living potential, and room to make it your own. The home was appraised at $365,000 in 2026 without taking into consideration the solar upgrades.
