911 SW High Ave, Mill City, OR 97360

This home has the warmth of hardwoods throughout, lots of light and flowers in the garden come springtime. These old-oak wood floors alone are priceless, perfect for a Mill City home! Built in 1962, a strong, quality-built house, it has Good Bones! it's been recently updated: A Brand New 25-Year Roof, (including wider than normal eaves, roof trusses at 16" apart (reinforced & closer than normal), new roof decking, additional venting, plus that extra $400 Most-Important 20-year ALGAE-proof SCOTCHGUARD transferable warranty)) new vinyl windows (they're very nice, big too) recent exterior and interior paint/stain (easier than paint) on quality shake shingles, ceiling fans, forced-air-gas, 1994 furnace (unused, recently cleaned vents, serviced), 90's electrical circuit-box, outlets, lights, plumbing faucets, old-fashioned pocket door to kitchen and $600 reverse osmosis water treatment system! No dishwasher -but good space for one. Also, The old fireplace was removed, records say it's here.The house is built on a raised foundation with a crawl space (has heating vents below house) and a big attic space. On city water/sewer system with affordable Mill City utilities. It's loveably-adorable, sparkly clean with ongoing, detailed renovations and painting (the ceiling, closets, garage, eaves, etc.)-since the many photos posted here!! Maybe it is small (often beneficial) but it's thoughtfully arranged with lots of storage, a large kitchen, and an ATTACHED GARAGE with 6' left for a washer/dryer. Extra parking, with new gravel, rock walls, and front yard low-maintenance landscaping, a variety of flowers and a spacious, serene and private back yard with green grass. The Original Price already Reduced $4000 as the kitchen would benefit from some updates, (which we really can't do because of allergies to adhesives) but the arrangement, size and amount of cabinets (birch-wood) - construction and breakfast area is great - it's interesting too, hand done-by a talented cabinet maker. Put half the $8400 brokers fee into kitchen floor, counter, shower door instead, later a ductless heater/air ($3800). It's in a pretty, tranquil neighborhood in a better part of town, near an amazing river with gigantic evergreens and mountain views, plus views of the full-moon and sunsets out the large living room window. This house is even more lovely, glowing in the evening... must be all the wood! If you are a wood-lover, than this is the right house for you!!!! It makes an affordable, sweet home for a single retired person or 2, and a cat (Santiam Hospital in Stayton, 16 miles) for a cozy, balanced lifestyle where the house/yard don't just take-over!!! This is not a new-tract house type neighborhood, there is a feeling of spacious freedom, independence and history here, yet, you still have a neighborly vibe AND nature. A short walk (3 blocks) to the Santiam River - also the post office, schools and market - a few short blocks, for walking in a safe and friendly neighborhood! The 30-minute drive to Salem, the 5 freeway, Stayton, Detroit for fishing (both 16 miles) is pretty and relaxing with a recommended stop at the North Santiam Park- 5 miles west -for a stroll along the enchanting paths and river! No kidding. This Mill City home is a secret nature lover's paradise. ***And For your measuring convenience, the room sizes are: Front master bedroom is 12'6 x 9'8" - 9' to the door fits a King bed/nighstands and btw is cable ready as is the living room.
