Tucked away at the end of a private-feeling lane, 631 Rhododendron Drive offers a peaceful retreat in a wonderful Florence location! Less than 10 years old and meticulously cared for, this inviting home is surrounded by natural beauty while being just a short stroll from the charm of Historic Old Town Florence, with many unique boutiques, delicious locally owned restaurants, and picturesque waterfront. Just across the street, is the entrance to the beloved Exploding Whale Memorial Park, offering access to miles of beautiful sandy shoreline along the Siuslaw River. Thoughtful upgrades and attention to detail are evident throughout, including custom Hunter Douglas window coverings, solid-surface kitchen countertops, a spacious island with convenient pull-out storage, and a primary suite featuring a relaxing jetted soaking tub. Step outside to your own private oasis, where a beautiful custom pergola enhances the patio, creating an inviting space for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The low maintenance, landscaped yard is partially fenced and borders an expansive natural wooded greenspace, providing an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility. Pride of ownership shines through with fresh exterior paint completed in 2025, a regularly cleaned and maintained roof, and the added convenience of gutter guards. With its serene setting, thoughtful upgrades, and close proximity to Old Town, the river, and the best of coastal living, this special property offers a wonderful blend of comfort, convenience, and privacy.
