<p>The beautiful centerpiece of the Living Room is the Gas Fireplace with a warm slate surround, and craftsman inspired mantle.&nbsp; It&#8217;s perfect for enjoying an intimate gathering of friends or cozying up to read a good book on a cold winters night.</p>

      <title>It's Like Owning Your Very Own Sunriver Lodge</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em"><img alt="Photo" src="http://i.realbird.com/proxy/?fid=204085&tl=s&tr=s" ></div><a href="http://listings.realbird.com/C3A1D3D8/204085.aspx">Click for details</a><br /><p align="center"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><strong style="font-size: 14pt;">&nbsp;A True Sunriver Dream Home</strong><br />
</span></p>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">
<p>&nbsp;Have you been looking for that perfect blend of lodge design, private setting, and open expansive views? Do you want a furnished home that provides stellar indoor &amp; outdoor living space so that you can enjoy the best of Sunriver year round?&nbsp;If this describes you&#8230;welcome to #6 Tournament Lane.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&#8220;When we went inside, we knew it was our Sunriver Dream Home&#8221; says the current owner.&nbsp;&#8220;We&#8217;ve made many memories for over 12 years here with family and friends.&#8221;</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll understand why this home made such an impression with the current owners.&nbsp;The first thing you notice as you approach the home is its stunning architecture. </p>
<p>&nbsp;The lot is over a quarter of an acre &nbsp;and sits next to a natural common area which gives the property a greater sense of space &amp; privacy.</p>
<p>In fact, the setting is so special that it was used in a John Wayne movie called, &#8220;Rooster Cogburn.&#8221;&nbsp;The old log cabin that was used in the film is long gone, but the beautiful setting it was filmed in&#8230;isn&#8217;t.</p>
</span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong>A Home That Lives Large</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As you enter onto the oversized tile entry and begin exploring the house, you&#8217;ll see that the home was designed to live larger than its 1994 square feet.&nbsp;Even the 3 bedrooms &amp; 2 &#189; bathrooms are larger than you&#8217;d expect.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The wood accented ceiling in the Great Room gives you that warm lodge feel, and the rustic fireplace set amidst the hewn rock mantle is delightful during those crisp winter nights.</p>
<span style='font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";'>When the weather is sunny and warm, you&#8217;re going to love the expansive wrap around deck system that was ingeniously designed to enjoy the warmth of the sun or the coolness of the shade depending on what you&#8217;re in the mood for.&nbsp;There&#8217;s also a new Hot Tub which is perfect for star-gazing into the heavens or entertaining guests.<br />
</span>
<p align="center">&nbsp;<strong>A Master Bedroom With Perks</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What would a dream home be without a spacious Master Suite?&nbsp;You even have a cozy window seat to lounge on as you look out over the property.&nbsp;The Master Closet runs along the entire length of the room, and the Master Bathroom provides dual sinks, an ample sized shower, and a&nbsp;separate step-up jetted tub for relaxing &amp; unwinding.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong>A Kitchen You Can Really Cook In</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Unlike many vacation homes, the kitchen in this home provides you with lots of room and counter space.&nbsp;The newer stainless steel appliances are well equipped to handle all your culinary masterpieces.&nbsp;The small touches like the built-in bread box and refinished hardwood floors are welcome. Finally, the island-kitchen layout with eating bar adds to the functional design and usefulness of the kitchen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong>A Quiet Refuge</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another thing you&#8217;ll notice is that there are neither roads nor bike paths that run along the back or sides of the property which can ruin your sense of privacy and quiet.&nbsp;Unlike many other Sunriver homes, you also won&#8217;t feel claustrophobic by being crowded in by trees that block natural sunlight and interfere with your sweeping views of nature.&nbsp;Rather, you&#8217;ll have open views to the hills and buttes in the distance, as well as peek-a-boo mountain views while still getting a calming sense of the forest around you.&nbsp;The architect carefully situated this home to take advantage of the Southern exposure while maximizing its sense of serene privacy. &nbsp;</p>
<p>The home was also designed for care-free, easy maintenance so that you can spend more time playing and less time maintaining.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong>A Garage You Can Be Proud Of</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If there&#8217;s one thing that can be said about Sunriver, it is that it&#8217;s a recreational wonderland.&nbsp;To enjoy all that Sunriver offers, you really need space.&nbsp;That includes space for bikes, canoe&#8217;s skis, snow-shoes, paddle boards and a host of other outdoor equipment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; When this home was designed, it was with a lot of forethought into what it means to live the Sunriver lifestyle. For that reason, a featured design element that you&#8217;ll love, is the generous 690 square foot garage that can fit all your outdoor toys, equipment, and cars.&nbsp;It&#8217;s so big, that the current owners even have a ping pong table for those fierce family competitions.<strong>&nbsp;</strong>  </p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong>Location&#8230;Location&#8230;Location</strong></p>
<p>A lot has been said about buying a house in a good location.&nbsp;#6 Tournament has you covered there too.&nbsp;While enjoying its quiet North end location, you&#8217;ll also appreciate the homes close proximity to the Benham Falls trail, the river, the less crowded North pool &amp; tennis courts, the Woodlands golf course &amp; clubhouse, and easy access to the North store. <br />
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong>The Vacation Home That Does More</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One thing is for sure, whether you&#8217;re &nbsp;out on the rear deck soaking in the sun with your morning cup of coffee, or taking a nap in the lazy shade of a hot summer afternoon, or perhaps on the front deck drinking a glass of wine while watching the setting sun, or simply warming yourself by the crackling fire of the living room fireplace while you watch the snow fall over the distant hills, you will be glad you bought a home that provides the versatility and unparalleled location of this custom Sunriver home.</p>

      <title>The City Lot That Became A Sanctuary</title>
      <description><![CDATA[
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em"><img alt="Photo" src="http://i.realbird.com/proxy/?fid=216291&tl=s&tr=s" ></div><a href="http://listings.realbird.com/C3A1D3D8/216291.aspx">Click for details</a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Your Very Own Sanctuary</span></strong>&nbsp;</div>
<div>An Oasis in Bend! That&#8217;s how you&#8217;ll feel when you tour this
custom built home owned by a retired couple.&nbsp;
The current owner said, &#8220;We started looking for the perfect lot to build
our home.&nbsp; We found that lot on the
corner of Sandalwood and Jill Avenue.</div>
<p>You might be wondering what makes this particular 4 bedroom,
3 bath, 2252 sq. ft. home so special.&nbsp; To
begin with, it is situated perfectly so that you have both sun and shade during
the times you want it throughout the day.&nbsp;
The privacy of this corner lot will shock you.&nbsp; The backyard has an unusually quiet and
tranquil feel for a home that sits in the middle of a neighborhood.&nbsp; &#8220;We love to relax on the oversized patio and
listen to the water feature while watching the birds&#8221; says the current owner. </p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Landscaped For Privacy</span></strong>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The choice of landscaping was meticulously chosen for both
its beauty and privacy.&nbsp; The sense of
peace and calm that comes over you when you are sitting in the backyard will
simply delight you.&nbsp; The backyard is
surprisingly large and is perfect for relaxing, barbequing with friends, and
has even been used to play Bocce Ball and Crocket. Neighbors have often commented
on how much they appreciate the beautiful landscaping as they admiringly walk
by the property.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A Feature Rich Home&nbsp;</span></strong></div>
<div>When it comes to the living space within the home, the first
thing you are struck by is the sense of open, free flowing space as you come
into the entry.&nbsp; Its dramatic 2-story
foyer gives this home an elegant, welcoming feel.&nbsp; The great room design allows for a huge
variety of furniture layout.&nbsp; You will also
love the corner gas fireplace for those chilly days and evenings.</div>
<p>A common complaint among many homeowners who love to cook is
that they don&#8217;t have enough counter space in their kitchen.&nbsp; If you&#8217;re looking for an open kitchen with
spacious counters, then you&#8217;re going to love the layout of this kitchen.&nbsp; Whether you&#8217;re creating a culinary
masterpiece, kneading dough, or preparing for a family get together, you will
be hard pressed to find more counter space than this wonderful kitchen
provides.&nbsp; There is also plenty of
storage space and a delightful pantry.</p>
<p>The downstairs also has a 4<sup>th</sup> bedroom or den
depending on your needs, as well as a full bath.&nbsp; The doors are so wide that they are
wheelchair friendly and make moving furniture in and out so much easier. Entry
through the front door and garage are level with the living space.&nbsp; The Maple hardwood floors provide the
downstairs living space with a rich, warm feel.&nbsp;
</p>
<p>The Master bedroom has a dramatic double door entry which
welcomes you into its oversized interior and is the perfect space for creating
a private sanctuary.&nbsp; The Master bathroom
is equally spacious with high counters, dual sinks, an extra deep garden tub
and separate shower that is full size and not some dinky afterthought.&nbsp; It also has a private lavatory, and a walk-in
closet.</p>
<p>The open-wall hallway upstairs looks down to the foyer and
allows lots of sunlight to stream into the upstairs area.&nbsp; You also have 2 additional guest bedrooms
that are substantially larger than the typical bedroom sizes you see in Bend.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Things You Don't See&nbsp;</span></strong></div>
<div>When it comes to the things you don&#8217;t see, this house is
rather unique as well.&nbsp; First it is
equipped with a security system and also has a built-in speaker sound system in
the primary living space.&nbsp; The climate
control system features an upgraded, high efficiency furnace, central air
conditioning, and an electronic filtering system which is great if you suffer
from allergies.&nbsp; The current owners also
upgraded the insulation factor for maximizing the energy savings of this home. </div>
<p>From start to finish, the current owners oversaw every
aspect of this home&#8217;s construction to insure that it became a quality home that
an owner could be proud of.&nbsp; If you&#8217;re
looking for a home that is well located to schools, shopping and entertainment,
yet also want a place that offers plenty of space, and amazing privacy along
with a well thought out floor plan, then call the listing agent Tarris Rogers,
Broker or your real estate agent to see for yourself just how much this home
has to offer. &nbsp;An Oasis in Bend! That&#8217;s how you&#8217;ll feel when you tour this
custom built home owned by a retired couple.&nbsp;
