Good to know

Step into this beautifully restored 1939 Vintage House, originally built by a Linfield College professor and filled with timeless character. Warm and spacious, the home features restored original hardwood floors, charming built-ins, high ceilings, and a cozy fireplace, along with original chair rail, cove, and picture rail trim. Throughout the home, you’ll notice thoughtful period details, such as original 1939 brushed-copper light fixtures, original dust catchers lining the stairway, and artwork hung from the picture rail in the traditional style—creating an authentic 1939 vintage look. Main Floor Layout: The main level features an open floor plan, high ceilings, and a spacious living room centered around a charming bay-window seating nook. The dining room is equally inviting, surrounded by original built-ins and highlighted by a classic 1939 brushed copper chandelier. The fully remodeled kitchen blends modern convenience with vintage charm, featuring a wall of windows overlooking the backyard—keeping you connected to the outdoor fun while guests gather, and grill steps away. Bedroom & Bath Layout (Main Floor): For added comfort and privacy, the two main-floor bedrooms are located on opposite ends of the home—ideal for couples, families, or friends traveling together. The primary bedroom features a king bed, while the second bedroom offers a queen bed, with a full bathroom conveniently located between the two rooms. This bathroom also serves as the home’s main bathroom, making the layout easy and functional for everyday use. Upstairs + Bonus Spaces: Upstairs, you’ll find a third bedroom, privately tucked away, with a second full bathroom at the top of the stairs—perfect for guests who want a little extra separation. The upstairs landing also offers a dedicated workspace with a desk, chair, and reading lamp, ideal for remote work or extended stay. Downstairs in the basement, the Game Room adds even more fun, featuring a life-size chalkboard, foosball table, and extra games/puzzles. Adjacent to the game room is the laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer for longer stays. Backyard Living: The backyard is truly the showstopper of this home. On one side, enjoy a fully covered patio with a brick fireplace—enclosed on three sides to create a year-round open-air, outdoor space, perfect for gathering, grilling, or relaxing by the fire. On the other side of the yard, you can spread out and soak up the sun with lounge seating and unwind while you watch your pups run and play.
