About the property

Updated 4-Bed Home with Solar, Main-Level Primary Suite

This well-cared-for two-story home at 1869 Plateau St NE delivers practical family living and recent, buyer-friendly upgrades. Built in 2002 and offering 1,639 finished square feet, the floorplan places the primary suite on the main level for convenience, while the first-floor bedroom with double doors provides a dedicated office, den, or guest room. Upstairs you'll find a versatile fourth bedroom without a closet — perfect as a bonus/playroom or additional office.

Sellers have invested in the big-ticket systems: roof and solar panels installed in 2022, furnace and central A/C replaced in 2023, and a water heater replaced in 2023. The kitchen is equipped with a free-standing gas range (2018) and convection oven, and a new dishwasher was added in 2025. Inside, updated flooring and a refreshed primary shower give the home an updated feel without requiring immediate renovation.

The property sits on a level 6,534 sqft lot with yard space for gardening, play, or outdoor entertaining, plus a 10x12 shed (2017) for tools and storage. Driveway parking accommodates two vehicles; MLS notes two garage spaces but the listing flags should be verified — contact the listing agent to confirm configuration. Solar panels help reduce monthly energy costs and pair well with the newer HVAC equipment for efficient operation.

Located in Northeast Salem, this home is convenient to local shopping, parks, and schools within the Salem-Keizer School District. It’s an excellent fit for buyers seeking a low-maintenance, energy-conscious home with flexible living spaces and peace of mind from recent system investments. Schedule a showing with the listing agent to review solar documentation, equipment warranties, and to tour in person.

Editorial market perspective

Salem’s market in 2026 remains relatively balanced; inventory is not as tight as the 2020–2022 period, but well-presented, updated homes continue to attract buyers quickly. The local median sale price for single-family homes in Salem is near the low-to-mid $400ks, and NE neighborhoods that combine convenience with recent upgrades — especially energy improvements like solar and new HVAC — command a premium. Expect typical days on market near 3–6 weeks depending on pricing and condition. For buyers, this listing offers a chance to obtain a turnkey home with major capital improvements already completed, reducing near-term expense risk. For sellers or investors, marketing that emphasizes the solar system, recent furnace/A/C replacement, and main-level primary will resonate with both family buyers and downsizers.
