1175 LAKE PARK Dr, Eugene, OR 97404

Open House this Sunday 1-3PM. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on .29 acres, this mid-century modern gem offers idyllic country living right in town. Large windows frame peaceful views of the yard and lake, where the quacking of ducks becomes part of the everyday soundtrack.

Watching quietly over the property is a magnificent ginkgo tree, believed by arborists to be among one of the oldest in Eugene. In Japanese culture, the ginkgo symbolizes longevity, resilience, hope, and peace; an especially fitting presence for a home so rich with character and history.

Each autumn, its fan-shaped leaves turn a brilliant golden yellow, carpeting the ground in color and creating one of those rare moments that makes this home truly magical. Preserved in time with all the charm you hope for in an MCM home, yet thoughtfully updated where it counts, this property blends character, comfort, and function beautifully.

The flexible layout offers wonderful options for multigenerational living, with one bedroom and bathroom set in its own wing, complete with a separate exterior door. The third bedroom, once used as a rumpus room, now offers generous space and a sunny, plant-loving window that brings in that classic indoor-outdoor mid-century feel.

Recent updates include HVAC system, electrical panel (including 2x220V), front porch privacy fence, a new roof in 2023, remodeled bathrooms 2026. The setting feels private and tucked away, yet the commute is incredibly convenient, with easy access to Northwest Expressway allowing you to skip River Road traffic during rush hour altogether.

A little nostalgic, a little unexpected, and full of the kind of "swell" character you don't come across every day. This home feels like it has stories from another era and plenty more still to be written.
