Timeless Charm with Modern Updates

Located in the heart of Corvallis, this absolutely charming two-story home offers unparalleled convenience with close proximity to downtown, shopping, bus routes, and schools. Lovingly cared for by one owner for 55 years, this is your opportunity to live 1 block away from Corvallis High School, near downtown, and be less than 1 mile to OSU.

Built in 1946, this 4-bedroom, 1-bath residence spans 1,428 finished square feet, not including the full unfinished basement. A detached one-car garage adds extra versatility, featuring a mini shop space with a workbench, perfect for DIY projects.

The home is brimming with character, showcasing archways, traditional-style trim, built-ins, and other delightful details. Updates include a brand-new roof installed in summer 2024, bathroom remodel, double-pane vinyl windows, blown-in insulation (attic and walls), ’04 replaced sewer line with backflow valve, and the recently sealed driveway. Ceiling fans are thoughtfully placed throughout the home, complementing the brass fixtures and white milk-glass lighting, which provide a warm, inviting ambiance. Don’t let the abundance of fans trick you- the entire home is served by an upgraded 2019 high-efficiency gas-forced air heating system with central A/C.

The main floor has two bedrooms, each with generously sized closets and built-ins. The bathroom, which was remodeled in 2024, boasts a new vinyl shower surround (reinforced fiberglass by Mustee), a vanity cabinet with a solid surface countertop, updated faucets, wainscoting, new lighting, and fresh paint. There is hardwood flooring beneath the carpet on the main level living room, dining room, and bedrooms.

The kitchen offers raised oak cabinets with glass display doors in the uppers, and a perfect space for a baker’s rack or hutch. It’s well-equipped with modern amenities, including a dishwasher, garbage disposal, and a large sink with an InSinkErator for instant hot water. The kitchen opens directly onto a covered deck in the backyard, making it an ideal spot for entertaining or enjoying a quiet meal outdoors.

Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, one of which is particularly spacious and includes ample closets and built-ins. There’s also the potential to add a half bath at the top of the stairs, offering even more functionality to the upper level.

The unfinished basement has stayed dry and the owner’s used it for office space. It offers plenty of storage space and comes equipped with a washer, dryer, and utility sink. The basement is where you’ll find convenient access to the HVAC and a new in 2019 gas water heater. There is also plenty of space for having a shop and there is certainly potential to do further finishing.

The fully fenced backyard is a private oasis, lined with a laurel hedge, pine, and cypress trees. The updated PVC sewer line, complete with a backflow prevention valve, ensures peace of mind for the future homeowner.

This home perfectly blends vintage charm with modern updates, making it a rare find in Corvallis in the location you’ve dreamed about.
