Description
Welcome to Canemah, one of Oregon City's most treasured neighborhoods. Known for its pastoral feel, turn-of-the-century homes & low density streets protected from modern overdevelopment, this historic district feels worlds away, yet is only minutes from downtown OC. Set on a hillside corner lot just 500 feet removed from the mighty Willamette below, the 'Helen & Peter Smith House' located at 216 3rd Avenue is a finely crafted home that blends historic character with modern comfort & amenities. Described in Oregon City's historic registry as "significant" due to its craftsman construction & detailing, the home was built by its original residents - a carpenter and his wife - and today features a main level primary suite, two additional bedrooms upstairs, two full baths, a generous kitchen, a bonus sunroom, a laundry room & a detached garage. The current homeowners have also completed thoughtful improvements since their 2018 purchase, including decommissioning the original onsite waste system, connecting a new sewer line to the city main, updated water lines, new roof, hardscape features, HVAC, electrical service, flooring, carpet, paint, kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel & bathroom addition. Outside, settle onto the front porch, listen for the romantic whistle of an occasional passing train & catch seasonal glimpses of the Willamette through the trees. Out back, Coffee Creek flows through your own private backyard oasis. Just steps away from Old Canemah Park & Canemah Bluff Children's Park, offering play areas, nature trails & sweeping territorial views. Enjoy convenient access to riverfront scenery, Willamette Falls viewpoints, downtown shops, dining, transit, Hwy 99E, I-205 & the bridge to West Linn, as well as the Tumwata Village & Willamette Falls Project sites that are slated to include restaurants, retail, a riverwalk, & cultural projects in the near future. Simply put, a charming town & country home that's directly connected to the best of Oregon City.
