677 Towne St, Grants Pass, OR 97527

Location, Location, Location! In the city, with a country feel and just minutes from shopping, medical and entertainment! This lovely one level home was carefully built on the 1.5 acre hillside view lot to provide for seasonal comfort, the 1728 SF shop (you will love it!), to maximize views and yet allow for privacy. The original builder (current owner occupant) is a master craftsman and builder who prided himself on the use of quality wood & perfection in composition throughout. From the siding (port orford cedar), steeple atop the shop, to the beautiful wood ceiling in the den & the 8" x 12" glue lams used to support the covered back porch (enclose and expand kitchen/dining?), this home is pure quality construction! European simplicity ruled the design, yet the house was built with future modification in mind. Don't need 2 - 2 car garage spaces? The two car garage attached to the house could easily become a full Master Ensuite, with one side of the shop converted back to a two car garage. Want a Guest house? Convert the shop...this home and property can accommodate many uses! No city water needed - think of the cost savings! The 5 gpm well & 1000 gallon holding tank are more than enough for residential use. The GPID Canal runs through the back, between the home and the wooded back lot. The annual GPID fee of $214.28 is about what one would pay per month to keep this property green! Two 50 gallon gas water heaters (one on each side of the home), and a separate outbuilding for wood as well as for the irrigation system. This is a true gem and one of a kind home and property.
