One-of-a-kind 1939 estate in Old East Medford is the original home of Harry Holmes, founder of Harry & David. The grounds and the 5,500 sq ft house were designed by celebrated architect Paul R. Williams, and are in impeccable condition. Current owners have renovated the house to maintain the historic look and feel while including modern features. The original overgrown grounds have been transformed into an oasis of plants blooming 9 months a year under magnificent native oaks, and include one of the Rogue Valley's first in-ground pools, a pergola, and a shaded flagstone patio. The 1.6-acre gated parcel is one of the largest residential lots in Old East Medford and is in turn surrounded by 19-acre Holmes Park. The grounds can accommodate 30+ vehicles. There is a separate studio for guests or caretaker. Views extend to Mount Ashland and the Siskiyou Mountains. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a historic and exceptional property in the heart of Southern Oregon.

SFR-4
Single-Family Residential District
This urban residential district is representative of historical low density, large lot single-family development as well as all middle housing types. New SFR-4 zoning should be located in areas where slopes exceed 5 Percent, but are less than 15 Percent, to prevent excessive grading.
