About this home

Welcome to 7928 Hillside Trail S, a beautifully updated home set in one of Cottage Grove’s most established and desirable neighborhoods. Surrounded by mature trees and connected to a network of parks, paths, and schools, this location offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and community — all just minutes from shopping, dining, and freeway access. Inside, the main level features a bright and inviting layout with three bedrooms on one level, a spacious living and dining area, and rich hardwood floors that bring warmth and character throughout. The kitchen is highlighted by custom wood countertops, a unique and environmentally conscious detail admired by both past and current owners, adding charm and a one-of-a-kind feel to the space. Sustainability is a defining feature of this home. In addition to the custom eco-friendly countertops, the property is equipped with solar panels installed in 2021, significantly reducing energy costs while supporting long-term efficiency, environmental responsibility, and overall home value. These green elements make the home both cost-effective and future-forward. The lower level provides incredible flexibility. Recently painted and full of potential, it offers the option to add additional bedrooms with egress windows, a second bathroom, a fitness or recreation space, or even a completely reimagined floor plan — the possibilities are truly endless. A large laundry room with a new washer and dryer, generous storage, and a dedicated workshop complete this level. Step outside to a private, fully fenced backyard designed for relaxation and year-round enjoyment. Mature trees, thoughtful landscaping, and a newly installed fire pit create the perfect setting for quiet evenings or gatherings with friends and family. There is also ample room to expand the garage, add a carport, or park recreational vehicles, a rare advantage in this area. Significant updates offer peace of mind, including a new roof (2024), luxury insulated energy-efficient siding (2024), and an updated electrical panel (2021). The home also features solar panels installed in 2021, providing long-term savings, sustainability, and efficiency. Additional storage is abundant throughout the home — from oversized closets to bonus space in the basement and garage — keeping everything organized and within reach. With its thoughtful updates, spacious layout, and prime location in a highly loved neighborhood, this home offers a rare combination of comfort, functionality, and opportunity. Fiber-optic internet and smart, energy-efficient features add even more value to this exceptional property.

How SODL buyer credits work

When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.

  • Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
  • Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
  • Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing

A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
