Private 4-Bed River-View Home on Nearly One Acre
This distinctive Eastside property blends the privacy and outdoor space of a rural lot with the convenience of in-town living. Set on nearly one acre, the home presents westerly views toward The Dalles and the Columbia River — a daily backdrop for sunsets and outdoor entertaining. The main level features the primary bedroom suite and a second bedroom, plus an updated primary bath, tile and granite in the kitchen, engineered wood flooring in the main living area, and durable vinyl flooring throughout secondary spaces. The kitchen’s granite counters and tile work give the heart of the home a clean, upgraded look while maintaining practical functionality.Downstairs the lower level expands living options: a large family room with a built-in kitchenette is perfect for media, multi-generational living, or a hobby zone. Two additional bonus rooms provide flexible space — ideal for a home office, gym, crafts, or guest quarters — and combine with a fourth bedroom to offer comfortable room for housemates or visiting family.Step outside to appreciate the scale and utility of the grounds: a private patio with a prepared hot-tub pad, full RV parking, raised beds/garden space potential, and sweeping yard areas for play or projects. Parking and storage are strong selling points here — a detached two-car garage, an attached carport, and a paved driveway ensure space for vehicles, tools, and toys. With nearly an acre to shape to your needs, this property is rare in-town inventory.Maintenance-conscious buyers will value the character of a 1956-built home that has received selective updates, while investors or buyers wanting to personalize will find upside in modest cosmetic improvements. Located a short drive from downtown The Dalles’ shops, dining, and riverfront recreation, this home strikes a balance between privacy and access. Schedule a showing to walk the rooms and the grounds — properties with this combination of lot, view, and in-town convenience are uncommon in the Gorge.

Excellent access to Columbia River parks, boat launches, and Gorge trails; good for boating, fishing, hiking and biking within a short drive.
A factual market snapshot around 1829 E 8th St.
The Dalles market is a small but steady single-family market where unique site attributes — river views, larger lots, and detached garages — command measurable pricing premiums. Median single-family prices in the area are generally below the Portland metro median, but properties offering acreage and views typically trade above local medians. Inventory has been moderate in recent months, and days on market for well-presented homes average in the 30–60 day range depending on price. For buyers, this listing offers immediate utility and outdoor space rarely found in-town; for sellers, it presents an opportunity to capture buyer urgency for lifestyle properties near the Columbia River. Expect buyers who prioritize outdoor living, hobby space (RV/garage), and flexible lower-level living spaces.
Likely R-1 or single-family residential zoning permitting conventional single-family use; check city zoning for accessory structures and RV parking.
