Here is your chance to own a true parcel of history. It is our honor to welcome you to the George Draper House on the Willamette River, which can be located with the state of Oregon's Historical registry. With a story to tell and a story your family can add to, this is a truly unique listing here in Oregon City. This gorgeous river parcel was platted in Canemah in the 1850s and purchased by schoolteacher and head of the school in Canemah, George Draper, who enjoyed and loved this Victorian style home, built in 1886 (according to the historical record)! It is also thought that Captain Paquet once lived and worked here, selling tickets for ferry/river travel out the back door of this historical home! Today you will find that the covered front porch provides you an impressive view of the Willamette River, allowing a perfect space to unwind in your own private setting. Come through the front door to discover ample space with this two-story charmer. In addition, you'll find a shed for your storage needs and open style parking with space for RV/Boat. Delight in a private space to go fishing or boating as you cross the railroad tracks onto your second lot which is directly on the Willamette River. Note this property consists of two lots divided by an easement belonging to the railroad company. Please see listing 23379149, which includes 4 parcels and the shop next door. Welcome home!
