About this home
Single Family · Built 1918 · Historic
Built in 1918, this Craftsman tells a story you can feel the moment you walk in- tall ceilings, original millwork, fir floors, and a warmth only time can create. Large windows fill the home with natural light. Updated with a new roof and furnace (2020), a tankless water heater (2023), and a remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances and bamboo floors, it blends character with ease. The upstairs is used as a private primary retreat, on the main are two bedrooms and a full bath. The finished basement adds another bedroom, quarter bath, kitchenette, and separate entrance—ideal for guests, extended living, or rental potential. Set in the Lincoln District with quick I-5 access, this is a home you can simply settle into and enjoy.
