The home sits high on a sloped lot affording great neighborhood views out the front with expansive views off the back deck. Upon arrival you park in the dedicated off street you walk up a few stairs into the fenced front yard with concrete path to the house and covered porch running the width of the home. We have keyless entry at the front door.

The living room opens to the kitchen/dining area with wood dining table, 6 Eames fiberglass shell chairs, floor space for easy movement and many people in the room together. There is a gas range, dishwasher, large capacity refrigerator, lots of counter and cabinet space. Off the kitchen/dining is a short hall accessing the bedrooms.

Lucinder enjoys a private, slightly elevated nature-scaped front yard, fully enclosed with a 3.5 Ft fence. The covered front porch is ideal for lounging in the shade or stashing extra gear. The yard has native grasses, rock, and mature maple trees. Out the back door is the elevated back porch with outdoor dining for 4, gas grill, 2 person Marquis hot tub. There is also "back door" pedestrian access into Downtown, down the back stairs, along an easement out to Lava Road. There is a gate at the top of the stairs that encloses the back deck.
This historic home was completely rebuilt in 2007, under the purview of the Historic Landmark Commission. The exterior is a near match to it's original 1925 design, while the interior is an eco-friendly modern reincarnation. This house is the upstairs portion of this property - there is a separate studio apartment underneath the back section of the house, accessed near the bottom of the deck stairs. We've soundproof the ceiling of the downstairs apartment so you do not need to worry about interior sound travel.
The kitchen is stocked with dish wear, cooking implements, tin foil, plastic bags, paper towels, cleaning supplies including hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap. We provide hand soap, body wash, shampoo and conditioner in both bathrooms. We do not provide any perishables beyond coffee beans, tea, sugar, and basic spices. We provide snow removal, regular hot tub maintenance, yard care, but guests are expected to clean up pet waste, recycle, and respect the City of Bend Licensed Short Term Rental noise abatement protocol which entails strictly limiting noise after 10 pm. Lucinder is a particular gem in our small collection of adjacent homes.
