About this home

This 1930 grand dame was so special when she was built that the owners moved her to her current location rather than let her be demolished to make way for a Safeway (now the police station) on Burnside. Nestled onto a huuuuuge lot on a sweet street in a lovely neighborhood. Thick carpet has protected the original hardwood floors from scuffs and scratches for decades, wallpaper covers plaster walls. And that basement! So much potential! [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10135547]
