5056 SW Lake Helena Road

Offered for the first time by the original owners, this 2.61 acre property feels less like a typical home with a shop and more like a private Northwest retreat built for people who need room to live, create, store, build, and breathe. Tucked into its park like setting with mature evergreens, open lawn, natural landscaping, and a charming front yard pond, the property has the quiet, peaceful feel you hope for when you picture life just outside of town. The shops here are a showstopper! The primary shop is approximately 40 by 30, fully insulated, steel framed, and heated by its own propane furnace for true year round use. Large overhead doors and an open span layout create flexible space for vehicles, equipment, restoration projects, fabrication, creative work, hobbies, or serious storage. A second detached shop, approximately 26 by 29, is also fully insulated and features radiant heated floors, ideal for projects that benefit from steady temperature control. The single level home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,621 square feet, with a practical layout, propane range, heat pump with forced air ducting, water softener, and a standby generator. The engineered drainage pond system helps manage heavy seasonal rain while adding to the charming natural character of the grounds. With usable acreage, privacy, multiple heated shops, and thoughtful owner improvements, this is a rare home with substance, flexibility, and a setting that is easy to fall for.
