301 W Main St, Silverton, OR 97381

Imagine living in a stately historic home, located in one of the most charming small towns in Oregon, home of Oregon Gardens and the gateway to Silver Falls State Park. The house is just a couple of blocks from Silverton’s very walkable downtown full of great restaurants, antique stores, a theatre, other shops, and more than 30 murals. The home was built in 1913 by a wealthy woman; a member of a prominent pioneer family that owned the bank and helped develop the town. This exquisite home last sold in 1967, so we don’t expect it to be on the market very long. The first floor is full of historic features. The dining room has a coffered ceiling with a unique curved buffet built-in under a bay window comprised of hundreds of small pains of leaded prism glass. The large living room which spans the depth of the house features an interior leaded window, a fireplace, and leaded glass French doors into the sun room. The sunroom has a coved ceiling, with windows on three sides which let in an abundance of light. The first floor also contains a large modern updated kitchen which was completed in 1996 and remodeled again in 2014 to become a great family gathering place. The kitchen has two sinks, two dishwashers, room for a large dining table, bar stools, a pantry and storage and counter space galore. In addition, to maintain the historic feature from the butler’s pantry which sadly had to be eliminated with the addition, there is a bar area with the original wood counter and pewter sink. The house has two staircases, the first joins the front entry way to the second floor. The back staircase begins in the kitchen and goes to the second floor, undoubtedly this staircase was intended for the help. The second floor has a large master bedroom with two closets and an en-suite bathroom, along with 3 other large bedrooms and a shared bath. There is also a covered sunporch with windows that was used to sleep additional guests during family gatherings. The third floor has a 2-room bedroom suite with its own bathroom as well as three additional attic storage areas – the largest one spans the entire length of the house. The full basement has a large laundry room, including a laundry chute from the second and first floors, a fruit room, a wood room, a workshop, a storage room, a ¼ bathroom (toilet), and a large knotty pine paneled game room. The house was built on three city lots so there is a nice large private side yard. There is an irrigation well and irrigation system to avoid large water bills and enjoy the green spaces, a small pond and waterfall, and a historic fireplace and patio. The house has been properly maintained throughout the years. The roof was replaced and the electric system updated in 2024. The price recognizes the buyer will likely want to refresh the interior. Other notes: We will not pay any buyer real estate commissions. A contingent bumpable offer has been accepted but we will continue to market until the contingency is removed.
