Single Family · Built 1880 · Historic
Welcome to this historic gem in downtown Independence. Built in the 1880's by the local tack and saddle merchant it went on to be owned by a local barber and a Justice of the Peace. This 3BR/2BA + office home boasts over 2000 SF and is two blocks from Main Street where Fourth of July festivities, outdoor summer concerts, Farmers & Saturday markets, & other local celebrations take place. Walking distance to breweries, coffee shops, the library, yoga, Pilates, the Willamette River & locally owned shops. Independence is one hour from the Oregon Coast, less than two hours to the Deschutes National Forest, provides easy access to Salem, Portland, Corvallis and Eugene and yet maintains an affordable housing market.In the last five years the current owners have had a new heat pump, additional fans in the upstairs duct work, mini-splits downstairs, water heater, Trex decking, a new exterior shed on skids, fencing, new bathroom sinks, and upgraded appliances installed. New interior paint has been applied throughout, including numerous murals by a local artist. Owners are currently using spacious master bedroom as their work from home space. In 2021 a new vapor barrier and floor joists were added under the living room to bring it up to current code. Exterior paint has been mostly completed and continues to be applied.This corner lot has great curb appeal and has been landscaped by a certified master gardener. The north facing bed features native and drought resistant planting. The front raised beds are ideal for vegetable gardening and have a drip system installed via hose for easy maintenance. The front yard features Kurapia, a drought resistant, low maintenance ground cover. 111 S Third Street is not just a home; it’s a lifestyle that combines history with modern amenities and ease of living as well as an escape from urban living with access to all of the essentials of day-to-day life! It's a great value at less than $200/sf.
