Rich in period character yet thoughtfully updated for modern living, this home is a treasure for all who appreciate the craftsmanship of an older home. Gorgeous hardwood floors, built-ins, clawfoot tubs, original wood-framed windows, and high ceilings showcase the home’s timeless character. The main level offers an ideal flow for everyday living, with a spacious living room, formal dining room, well-appointed kitchen, cozy eating nook, two generously sized bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Upstairs, a gorgeously remodeled primary suite provides a private retreat, complete with bedroom, bathroom, and large attic space offering excellent additional storage. The lower-level basement is a standout, with its own entrance and potential for additional living quarters. Partially finished and thoughtfully updated, it includes another bedroom, bonus room, full bathroom, laundry area, huge workshop, abundant storage, built-in shelving, and more. It’s rare to find a basement this versatile and useful in a home of this era.

About Jefferson
Westside
Jefferson Westside, located between Downtown Eugene and the Whiteaker, is a historic and walkable Eugene neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a strong arts-and-food scene. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 11th Avenue and Monroe Street corridor, where corner cafes, small galleries, and indie storefronts set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Beloved anchors include Sweet Life Patisserie, the Broadway Metro cinema, and the Lane County Farmers Market. Early-1900s bungalows and Craftsman homes mix with tidy infill and garden-forward yards. Bike routes and sidewalks link pocket parks to the Willamette River paths. The pace feels local and creative, with patios and porches shaping street life.

S-JW
Jefferson Westside Special Area Zone
The overarching purpose of the S-JW zone is to prevent residential infill that would significantly diminish, and to encourage residential infill that would enhance the stability, quality, positive character, livability and natural resources of the encompassed residential areas. More specifically, the purposes of this zone include: Contribute to maintaining and strengthening a high quality urban core environment with compatible commercial and residential development so that people of a variety of incomes and household compositions will desire to live close to the city center and will be able to afford to do so; Protect and maintain these healthy, established, residential areas by ensuring compatible design for residential infill development in terms of lot patterns; uses; development intensity; building mass, scale, orientation and setbacks; open space; impacts of vehicle ownership and use; and other elements; Reinforce and complement positive development patterns identified through a community process conducted by the City-chartered neighborhood association that encompasses the S-JW zone; Accommodate future growth without eroding the areas’ residential character and livability; Promote stability of the neighborhood community by maintaining a balanced mix of single-dwelling, duplex, and multi-dwelling residential development that contributes positively to the predominant residential patterns that arose as the neighborhood was built out. Prevent destabilization that would result from major residential redevelopment.
