The home combines timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. Original pine floors, a working wood-burning fireplace, French doors opening to a private office, a dedicated gym room, and a spacious covered three-season porch create a home filled with warmth, charm, and flexible living space, plus a full basement. The remodeled farmhouse-style kitchen features new cabinetry, updated plumbing and electrical, a ceramic apron-front sink, dual ovens, and a welcoming breakfast nook with built-in benches and a custom table.
Recent improvements include an upgraded electrical panel with generator hookup, restored first-floor wood flooring, new siding and windows on the east side, full exterior paint, a re-graveled driveway, upgraded rain drainage, and a new French drain at the garage driveway. Outside, enjoy a partially re-wilded landscape with more than 150 native trees and shrubs, mature fruit trees including apples, pears, cherries, and Italian plums, plus approximately a quarter-acre ready for growing your own food. An existing old horse barn provides an established footprint that may offer future outbuilding potential, subject to Scenic Area requirements. With a two-car garage featuring a remote-operated hurricane-rated door and the added privacy of neighboring Menucha Retreat Center's 100-acre forested land, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated historic home surrounded by nature, history, and room to grow. Located in the desirable Corbett School District, with nearby access to I-84. Just 25 minutes to PDX and 10 minutes to the waterfalls and hiking trails in the Gorge.
